About 3 3/4 tons of SRC-II Vacuum Flash Drum Bottoms from the liquefaction of Kentucky coal were successfully gasified in a pilot plant at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory under DOE contract EX-76-C-01-2247. A 98 percent conversion of the carbon in the feed to syngas was achieved yielding 30.4 SCF of dry syngas per pound of residue charged. The dry syngas contained over 93 volume percent carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The short, 7.3 hour, pilot plant run confirmed the operability of the Texaco Coal Gasification Process with this feedstock and the data obtained confirm our earlier predictions of performance efficiency.
