Tono-1 field experiment preliminary process design

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6632733
A decision has been made by DOE to initiate an in situ coal gasification project in the State of Washington at a site in the Tono basin owned by Washington Water Power Company. This site has been surveyed and partially characterized by a team led by Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque. The program, envisioned for this project, is to complete the site characterization, to do a short series of large scale laboratory type experiments called Large Block Tests at a site in the Widco mine and to carry out two field experiments, the first Tono-1 based on directional drilling and the second Tono-2 based on reverse combustion linking.
