AGGLOMERATING BURNER GASIFICATION PROCESS Design, Installation, and Operation of a 25-Ton-A-Day Process Development Unit Quarterly Report for the Period January-March, 1977

摘要

In spite of extreme weather conditions and a local fuel crisis, significant progress was made. Two extended runs in the PDU burner demonstrated that controlled temperatures could be maintained by the autogenously combustion of coal. Ash from the Rosebud coal was captured during these runs as an agglomerated coating on the inert starter-bed material.nSmall-scale tests in a bench-scale agglomerating fluidized-bed reactor demonstrated that operation at bed temperatures around 2200°F should result in efficient agglomeration and ash capture.
