A unique coal gasification system employing multiple fluidized beds has been embodied into a process development unit located at Waltz Mill, PA. The two main process loops are at present arranged for independent operation. The devolatilizer/desulfurizer subsystem testing on coal was previously completed, after a 168 hour continuous run processing two highly-caking Pittsburgh seam coals. The gasifier/agglomerator subsystem was prepared for test operation and the first tests of this subsystem were conducted.
