Assessment of Health, Safety and Environmental Impacts of Department of Energy Coal-Conversion Processes. Final Report, July 2, 1980-December 31, 1982.

摘要

This final report addresses the Department of Energy (DOE) contract to Carnegie-Mellon Institute of Research (CMIR) and its subcontractor, Environmental Research and Technology, Inc. (ERT) for contract period of July 2, 1980 to December 31, 1982. The major activities of this contract consisted of an experimental test program implemented at CMIR on an entrained flow (riser) reactor and gasification/liquefaction environmental consulting services. The gasification consulting services emphasized the development of discharge inventories for generic coal conversion facilities, the completion of control technology surveys for proposed coal gasification facilities, including a comprehensive review of sulfur control technology options, and the development of a test-data data base architecture for incorporation into the Morgantown Energy Technology Center's (METC) computerized gasification technology data base management system. Liquefaction consulting services addressed the documentation and verification of selected environmental sampling efforts at the SRC-II and H-Coal pilot plants as well as an investigation of the impact of hydrotreatment on the chemical and toxicological properties of coal-derived liquids. This report does not represent a comprehensive coverage of these contract activities. Rather, it summarizes the work performed (both chronologically as technically) and references key topical reports produced during this contract should more detailed descriptions of the contract activity be required by the reader.
