This report summarizes the techniques and procedures used to handle automated data collected at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) campus coal gasification facility. This facility, which is partially funded by the Department of Energy, is being evaluated by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for its potential health and environmental effects. Automatic data collections and manually collected and sample results data are used for this assessment. A data management project at ORNL handles these and other UMD data for the Gasifiers in Industry Program (GIIP). Specifically, this report documents the procedures developed within the data management project for handling two categories of automated data: (1) process and (2) environmental. The examples included use actual data from the first one and a half years of gasifier operation.
