This Final Report documents the Phase III operations of the H-Coal direct liquefaction Pilot Plant at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, by Ashland Synthetic Fuels, Inc. The project was initiated in 1965 under the Office of Coal Research, US Department of Interior Contract No. 14-32-0002-154 with Hydrocarbon Research, Inc., and was completed under US Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC05-76ET10143 with Ashland Synthetic Fuels, Inc. Data generated by HRI's Bench Scale and 3-ton per day Process Development Units were used as the design basis for the Pilot Plant. Subsequent Pilot Plant operations confirmed the validity of the data base. This report contains process, mechanical and environmental assessments of the Pilot Plant germane to commercial scale-up.
