Pipeline gas from coal-hydrogenation (IGT Hydrogasification Process). Project 9000 quarterly report No. 6, October 1--December 31, 1977
Tests 66 and 67 were conducted to perform necessary pilot plant operations and related support studies to acquire data for a commercial/demonstration plant based on the proprietary HYGAS Process. Specifically, tests were run to obtain data on operating conditions necessary for high char conversions at high char throughputs using Illinois No. 6 bituminous coal. An analysis of the results of Test 64, is presented. Eight and one-half days of self-sustained operation were achieved during this test at carbon conversions ranging from 72% to 83%. Over 9 days of reactor operation with steam/oxygen and char feed were logged for Test 66. Steady-state, self-sustained operations were achieved at a char feed rate of about 2 tons/hr and at coal conversions ranging from 75% and 85%. Test 66 was significant not only because the reactor was operated for 9 days at coal conversions up to 85%, but also because the reactor was completely free of sinters or clinkers after the run. Test 67 was conducted for the purpose of obtaining data at high char conversions at high char throughputs during an extended run. Over 14 days of self-sustained operation were achieved, including 6 hours of operation at a 3 ton/hr char feed rate and at char conversions exceeding 85%. This test provided valuable data on high char conversions at high char throughputs.
