The 1235 series of reports documents the results of the investigation of the storage, handling, and combustion characteristics of solvent refined coal (SRC). Such information would permit boiler manufacturers to design new units for burning SRC and to determine retrofit requirements (if any) for existing units burning coal. The SRC reports summarize activity for a wide range of tasks. Initial work included bench-scale analyses of SRC, such as fuel analysis, pulverizing, and transport. The culmination of the effort was a 2-ton/hour ball-and-race pulverizing and direct-firing test to simulate as closely as possible operating conditions in a utility plant using conventional equipment.
