The Westinghouse Gasification Process described here is based on fluidized-bed technology with its inherent advantages in handling high-sulfur, high-caking coals and opportunities to both minimize plant investment and maximize both flexibility and overall efficiency. A 15-ton/day Process Development Unit has been constructed at Waltz Mill, Pennsylvania to evaluate the process. This system for a combined-cycle power plant utilizes gasifier reactor design criteria that have been realized in operation. Continuous, controlled tests of 100 to 200 hours have been achieved and the process shows promise of being scaled up to commercial size in the early 1980's. (MCW)
