KILnGAS Commercial Module RAM IIA engineering analysis report: Topical report

OSTI ID:6673239

The findings of the RAM IIA Engineering Analysis were used to identify refinements needed in the KILnGAS process for commercial applications. It was concluded that as a result of RAM IIA testing, substantial progress has been made in demonstrating the potential of the KILnGAS process. There are no longer any gasification issues that would be considered a high commercial risk. A majority of the refinements needed now are of a design nature rather than technology-oriented. A summary of the refinements, 25 in number, is shown in Table 1, KILnGAS Technical Status. Each of these was placed in one of three categories: Gasification Technology, the refinement requires additional evolvement of the gasification process for reasons such as performance or repeatability. Process Design, these involve design improvements or are needed so that commercial design of other portions of the process can be undertaken. Equipment Design, these require mechanical or electrical design improvement to enhance performance or availability, fundamental configurations having already been demonstrated. This report contains 15 sections. Each includes a description of an individual area of the KILnGAS process, its status at the conclusion of RAM I, a summary of improvements introduced for RAM IIA, an analysis of the RAM IIA results, and conclusions and recommendations. 36 figs., 6 tabs.
