Experience gained at the solvent-refined coal (SRC) pilot plants at Wilsonville, Alabama and Tacoma, Washington and also at other liquefaction pilot plants has been used to specify the materials of construction for the process portion of the next generation of SRC plant, expected to be in the 6000 tons/day range. Three major areas of concern for materials selection are: rapid wear of letdown valves, erosion of hot slurry lines, and corrosion of solvent fractionation columns. In other sections of the plant, available technology will be utilized to hydrocrack and coke the SRC product. As a result, the materials of construction for these areas will be chosen based upon refinery experience. Similarly, available technology will be used for the gasification, gas treatment, sour water stripper, and oxygen (cryogenic) plant.
