Moeller,

A table of data for sulfur balance is presented. Operation time was 7,920 hrs. The total sulfur intake was 31.5 kg S per ton of gasoline or 995 kg S per hr. Twenty-one kg of this was from 2 tons dry coal per ton of gasoline with 1.05% S, and 10.5 kg was the ''lump'' sulfur per ton of gasoline obtained during hydrogenation over catalysts 5058 and 6434. The sulfur content of the washwaters from the liquid phase catch pot, the gas phase catch pot, and the hydrogenation gas washer was about 550 kg S per hr. The wash alkali (2 kg per ton gasoline) had a sulfur content of 60 kg S per hr. The kiln residue (210 kg per ton gasoline with 1.5% S) had a sulfur content of 114 kg per hr or 3.6 kg S per ton gasoline. The low H/sub 2/S off-gases (coal stall off-gas, circulating gas wash, vapor phase stall gas, kiln gas, and H.O.L.D. gas) had a sulfur content of 757.7 tons S per hr. The high H/sub 2/S gas with over 8 g H/sub 2/S per m/sup 3/ had a total sulfur content of 227 kg or 971.7 kg per hr of operation. This equalled within 2.9% the sulfur intake of 995 kg. About 214 kg per hr of H/sub 2/S were available from the high H/sub 2/S gases.
