This report presents the operating results for Run 244 at the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R and D Facility in Wilsonville, Alabama. This run was made in an all-distillate Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction (ITSL) mode using Illinois 6 coal from the Burning Star mine. The primary objective was to demonstrate the effects of temperature programming an aged catalyst batch on the ITSL product slate, especially on the net C/sub 1/-C/sub 5/ gas production and hydrogen consumption. Other objectives were to demonstrate the effect of fresh catalyst addition and to age the catalyst batch for an extended run with catalyst addition and withdrawal. Run 244 began on 4 July 1983 and continued through 27 September 1983. During this period, 182.9 tons of coal was fed in 1872 hours of operation. Seven special product workup material balances and two hydrotreater balances were defined, and the results are presented herein. From 27 to 30 September, 7.4 tons of Wyodak (Clovis Point mine) subbituminous coal was fed in 79.2 hr. This special test was performed to determine TL unit and CSD unit operability and to obtain design information for coal slurry drying. Preliminary results of a run with subbituminous coal are presented herein. 4 references, 29 figures, 20 tables.
