Hydrotreatment of COGAS pyrolysis oil via the H-Oil process

A complete baseline concept for a commercial COGAS Process, including equipment specifications, utility summaries, steam-power balances, layout drawings, and cost estimates, was developed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy and Illinois Coal Gasification Group's demonstration plant tasks. For this baseline design, hydrotreating of unfiltered oil from the coal pyrolysis in a single-stage ebullating-bed reactor (H-Coal process) was tested by Hydrocarbon Research Inc. After the successful completion of this study, Hydrocarbon Research Inc. was contracted for the conceptral design of a commercial plant that would hydrotreat the pyrolysis oils of Illinois, Pittsburgh seam, and Western subbituminous coals to a fuel oil and a naphtha. The COGAS Development Co., in the meantime, conducted a trade-off study which considered the production of fuel oil and naphtha vs vacuum distillation for removing the solids. The results favored fuel oil/naphtha and distillation overwhelmingly. The detailed results of the laboratory and design studies for the hydrotreating plant are given.
