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 has been under test on coal since October, 1975. That program ended during this quarter after a 168-hour continuous run processing two highly-caking Pittsburgh seam coals. The gasifier/agglomerator subsystem is now being prepared for test operation.
