OSTI ID:7125807
An experimental entrained-coal gasifier has been designed and constructed with the capability for local measurements inside the gasifier at pressures up to 20 atm and is being cold flow tested. The technical approach being used is to obtain particle and gas samples at various axial and radial locations in the reactor using water-cooled or direct water-quench probes. Tracer components will be used to measure directly the extent of gas-phase mixing and a particulate sample will yield information as to particulate mixing, extent of reaction, and possibly pollutant release.
