Design, construction, and operation of a process-development unit for the high-rate, entrained-flow coal-gasification process. Quarterly technical progress report No. 5, April-June 1982. [Mountain Fuel Resources, Inc. , West Jordan, Utah; high rate, entrained flow]
Mountain Fuel Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of Mountain Fuel Supply Company, Salt Lake City, Utah, is under contract with the US Department of Energy to design, construct and operate a high-rate, entrained flow coal gasification process development unit (PDU). The objective is to develop equipment for gasification of coal to form a clean, intermediate-Btu fuel gas or synthesis gas that may be converted to methyl alcohol, gasoline, synthetic natural gas or many other desirable products. Ford, Bacon and Davis Utah, Inc., is the principal subcontractor on the program, and will be largely responsible for design, construction and operation of the PDU. The design of the coal gasification PDU is based on earlier DOE-supported work at the Eyring Research Institute, Provo, Utah. Pulverized coal is fed to an entrained flow reactor where it is gasified by reaction with steam and oxygen. The ash in the coal is removed as an inert slag and the product gas may be cleaned to remove sulfur-containing compounds and carbon dioxide to yield a clean fuel gas with a heating value near 300 Btu/standard cubic foot. The PDU is to be located adjacent to a brick plant operated by Interstate Brick Company in West Jordan, Utah. Interstate Brick is also a subsidiary of Mountain Fuel Supply Company. Detailed design was essentially completed during this reporting period.
