In 1980, German engineers performed test runs on two US coals - candidates for the Cool Water, Calif., gasification plant - in a 150 ton-day Texaco coal-gasification demonstration plant in West Germany. Both runs, with Illinois No. 6 and Utah coals, proved the excellent design and commercial readiness of the Texaco process as well as the suitability of the feedstocks. This report deals in particular with the Utah coal, which proved to be highly reactive. High conversions and efficiencies, satisfactory coal and oxygen consumption, as well as a favorable performance of the reactor lining were attained at moderate reactor temperatures (2000/sup 0/-2600/sup 0/F). In a comprehensive environmental characterization performed on all the major process streams, the process conditions were well within current environmental regulations for water quality.
