Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I). This phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the process and project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. The design has been completed and is being reported in 24 volumes. This is Volume 11 which covers the design of Plant Section 1000 - Slag Handling/Disposal. The purpose of the slag handling/disposal system is to recover the slag produced in Plant Section 300 - Gasification. The slag/water mixture from the gasifier is transferred to Plant Section 1000 wherein the slag is physically separated from the water in hydrobins. The water is clarified and recycled to the slag lock hopper of the gasifier. The slag is trucked to a landfill area on the plant site. The slag handling system is designed to handle 47,124 pounds per hour of dry slag. This production rate corresponds to utilization of blast furnace slag as flux in the gasifier operation.
