OSTI ID:7025158

No gasifier tests were conducted during the month of July, 1982. At the end of June, Stearns-Roger and the Department of Energy agreed on a contract modification which extended the project through February of 1983. However, no gasifier testing will be performed during this period; under the terms of the contract, reversible plant mothballing work will be accomplished by plant personnel through November. Final mothballing is to be completed by a reduced work force in December if no further funds are appropriated. Personnel continued to work on the deactivation of the pilot plant throughout August, 1982. It is estimated that nearly fifty percent of the scheduled tasks have been completed. Work on deactivation of the BI-GAS Pilot Plant continued through September, 1982. It is estimated that nearly eighty percent of the scheduled tasks have been completed. Only reversible mothballing activities are being performed until the end of November. If further funds are appropriated, the plant will be reactivated.
