[Production of low-cost hydrogen]. Technical progress report, October 1992--December 1992
The overall objective of the proposed effort is to verify, at the laboratory scale, the ability of the MTCI indirectly heated fluid-bed gasifier to economically produce a hydrogen-rich product gas from liquefaction byproduct streams and from char produced in mild gasification processes. An important objective of the proposed effort is to provide a process data base that can be utilized by the AMOCO Corporation in evaluating the design and economics of an integrated liquefaction process which employs the MTCI gasifier for hydrogen production. The AMOCO Corporation has offered to provide this effort at no cost to MTCI or the government. Their participation in the project is an important element in verifying the economics of an indirectly heated gasifier to meet the overall program objective of reducing the cost of direct liquefaction processes. During this period, gasification tests on SRC residue were completed and testing of a preoxidized caking coal was initiated. The oxidation process substantially reduced the free-swelling index (FSI) and by recycling the carbon to the gasifier, the efficiency of the process was also increased. All of the planned testing has been completed and the system analysis initiated.
