Development of SRC-I product analysis. Volume I. Summary report with Wilsonville facility analytical/sampling procedures
International Coal Refining Company (ICRC) conducted two research programs to develop analytical procedures for characterizing the feed, intermediates, and products of the proposed SRC-I Demonstration Plant. This three-volume report presents the results from Program 12.1.10, which dealt with the development of SRC-I product analysis. The report contains individual research reports previously published in ICRC quarterly reports. Topics covered are: (1) a discussion of all Wilsonville, Alabama Pilot Plant material balance analyses; (2) comparisons of various solvent extraction and distillation procedures for product fractionation; (3) a discussion of gas chromatography (GC) simulated distillation, GC analysis of product gases, and elemental analyses; and (4) a discussion of solvent quality and analytical testing that may aid in solvent characterization. A major observation from the program is that standard analytical methods must be defined and assigned statistical error limits of precision and reproducibility early in development. Comparing all SRC-I data or data from different processes is complex and expensive if common data correlation procedures are not followed. ICRC recommends that processes be audited analytically and statistical analyses generated as quickly as possible, in order to quantify process-dependent and -independent variables. 15 references.
