The Wilsonville R and D Facility combines three process units: a thermal hydrogenation or solvent refined coal (SRC) unit, a Critical Solvent Deashing (CSD) unit, and a catalytic hydrogenation or hydrotreater (HTR) unit. The SRC unit was designed by Catalytic, Inc., using technology initially developed in Germany and later refined by the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. The CSD unit was designed and developed by the Kerr-McGee Corporation. The HTR unit uses H-Oil technology, developed by the Hydrocarbon Research Institute, Inc. (HRI), and was constructed by Catalytic, Inc. The combined three unit processing system is generally known as a two stage liquefaction (TSL) process. This report presents the operating results for Run 241 made in a non-integrated two stage liquefaction (NTSL) mode using Illinois 6 coal from the Burning Star mine. Coal was fed for 1615 hours. Four overall special product workup periods were selected and are analyzed herein. Two additional material balances for the hydrotreater unit are also reported. The objective of this run was the operation of the SRC, CSD, and HTR units to optimize fuel oil production with maximum SRC recovery at the CSD unit.
