A comparison of simulated distillation to true boiling point (TBP) from both actual TBP distillation and single theoretical plate distillations converted to TBP for various H-Coal distillates is presented. The TBP distillation data was obtained using a Todd distillation column having 15 theoretical plates and a 5:1 reflux ratio. The simulated data presented were obtained using a Hewlitt Packard 5731 gas chromatograph equipped with dual flame ionization detectors. Graphical comparisons of distillation curves obtained by direct weight % TBP distillation and simulated distillation for a full range H-Coal syncrude, of boiling point curves for H-Coal naphtha, H-Coal middle distillate, and H-Coal heavy distillate are included. From an examination of the distillation data, it was apparent that simulated distillation data compared favorable with weight % distillation data, whether derived from direct TBP distillation or single theoretical plate distillation data and converted to TBP data.
