The completion of the preliminary design of a Coalcon Co. coal conversion project in southern Illinois has been delayed from Apr. 1977 to Sept. 1977. According to the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, analyses indicate a high technical risk with the fluid-bed hydrocarbonizer, particularly with Eastern caking coals. ERDA and Union Carbide Corp., the owner of Coalcon, will complete the first phase but are reevaluating the project.
