Engineering Support Services for the DOE/GRI Coal-Gasification Research Program. Addendum to C.F. Braun Report FE-2240-46, Basic Requirements for the Design and Construction of Gasifier Vessels

摘要

The C.F. Braun and Co. report FE-2240-46, Basic Requirements for the Design and Construction of Gasifier Vessels, is a well-organized, well-written and comprehensive compendium of information. Kellogg's review of the document disclosed certain areas in which revisions would increase the usefulness of the document to the designer/constructor of gasifier vessels. Rather than rewriting and revising the Braun report, Kellogg proposed, and the DOE/GRI Joint Operating Committee agreed, that an addendum to the report would be of greatest utility. The Kellogg addendum to the C.F. Braun report supplements, amplifies, and updates the Braun information so that the total body of information is compatible with the various codes and practices of vessel design and construction. Paragraph numbers in the Kellogg addendum correspond to the numbers in the Braun report. To avoid confusion, in each of 33 revisions the complete paragraph is included, even though the revision may be the changing of only a few words. Following each such revision is a short comment that outlines the reason for the revision. Kellogg believes that this type of treatment allows side-by-side comparison of the paragraphs and thus results in the greatest utility to the designer/constructor of gasifier vessels.
