The results of three peat hydrogasification tests (one with a mixture of steam, hydrogen, and nitrogen and the other two with a steam and hydrogen mixture) are reported. The tests were made to determine the effect of the hydrogen/peat ratio on product yields. Peat char gasification tests were successfully conducted with steam and hydrogen. Work continues on the analysis of data from the hydrogasification tests to establish the effects of time, pressure, and temperature on product composition. Work continued on the detailed PEATGAS Process design. (JSR)
