EPRI is sponsoring a program for the development of the CONAC instrument for on-line continuous measurement of coal properties, with SAI as the prime contractor. EPRI and TVA are jointly sponsoring a field demonstration of CONAC at TVA's Paradise Steam Plant in Kentucky. The demonstration is scheduled to begin in September 1983. Prior to the field demonstration tests, the CONAC instrument has undergone a one-month acceptance test program at SAI's Sunnyvale laboratory. The acceptance test program has demonstrated that the CONAC determinations for carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, ash, moisture, chlorine, and heat content fall within acceptable prescribed limits of accuracy and precision. The test program has further demonstrated that the short-term mechanical and electronic performance of CONAC under dynamic operation is acceptable, and that the radiation emitted from the CONAC system is well below acceptable prescribed safety limits.
