The Bureau of Mines, in cooperation with the Department of Energy (DOE) and 20 U.S. firms with interests in iron ore, coal, gas and process design, has formed a cooperative, cost-sharing group known as the Mining and Industrial Fuel Gas Group (MIFGA) to promote development and demonstration of low-Btu coal gas as an alternate fuel for mineral processes and other industrial applications. During the past two years, performance tests have been conducted with a commercial-size 6.5-ft-diam Wellman-Galusha gasifier at the Bureau of Mines' Twin Cities Research Center in Minneapolis. 7 refs.
