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 steam coals. The gasifier/agglomerator subsystem is now undergoing test operation. Three runs were completed during this quarter.
