Advanced Development of a Pressurized Ash Agglomerating Fluidized-Bed Coal Gasification System. Phase 1 Final Report, January 16, 1982-April 30, 1983

摘要

Westinghouse Electric Corporation is engaged in the development of a pressurized, fluidized-bed, gasification process at its Waltz Mill Site in Madison, Pennsylvania. With the sponsorship of the Department of Energy, its precursor agencies, and the Gas Research Institute, Westinghouse has conducted this development from 1975 to March 1980 under Contract EF-77-C-01-1514, from March 1980 to January 1982 under Contract AC21-80-ET14752, and from January 1982 to April 1983 under Contract AC21-82MC19122. The overall objective of the program is to demonstrate the viability of the Westinghouse process for the environmentally acceptable production of low- and medium-Btu fuel gas from a variety of fossilized, carbonaceous feedstocks for electrical power generation, substitute natural gas, chemical feedstocks, and industrial fuels. This final report covers Phase I of the contract period (January 16, 1982 to April 30, 1983) and is a continuation of the work performed in 1980 and 1981 and reported in the 1982 final report, FE-14752-28. Included is work performed in fiscal 1982-1983 on PDU testing, process analysis, cold flow scaleup facility, process and component engineering and design, and laboratory support studies. 2 refs., 18 figs., 14 tabs.
