Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) process. Annual technical progress report, January-December 1978
This report summarizes the progress of the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) Project by The Pittsburgh and Midway Coal Mining Co. for the Department of Energy for the period January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1978. The fourth quarter of 1978 is reported here in detail. Activities included the operation and modifications of the Solvent Refined Coal Pilot Plant at Fort Lewis, Washington, the Process Development Unit P-99 at Harmarville, PA, and the research at Merriam Laboratories in Merriam, KS. Following a turnaround, the pilot plant processed Pittsburgh Seam coal in the SRC-II mode of operation during seven material balance runs. At Hamarville, P-99 evaluated thirteen different run conditions with Pittsburgh Seam coal. Merriam investigations included a study of long residence time SRC-I operations with Pittsburgh Seam coal; a series of runs to determine the effect of feed slurry composition, hydrogen feed rate, and coal source on SRC-II processing of Powhatan coal; and a preliminary investigation of SRC-I operation with short residence time. An analytical evaluation with burner studies of SRC-II liquids was also completed in this period.
