Synthesis Gas Demonstration Plant Program, Phase I. Deliverable No. 7D: Final Report on Pilot Plant Sustained Run

摘要

The object of the Type Ic, Extended Pilot Plant Run, was to establish equilibrium conditions in all streams, obtain analytical data from all streams, obtain slag and char physical properties, demonstrate sustained operation with the design coal and confirm the design basis. Based on our initial review of the data obtained from the extended run, the objectives of the run have been met. The extended run confirmed the design parameters used in the Demonstration Plant design with regard to Synthesis Gas composition and quantity, waste streams, and the required coal and oxygen inputs. The Texaco Type Ic Test Report included in this report tabulates this information. The design of the Demonstration Plant was essentially completed before the Type Ic extended test run. As stated, the extended test generally confirmed the validity of the Demonstration Plant design. However, certain factors emerged during the test run that suggest that certain aspects of the Demonstration Plant design should receive particular attention during Phase II of the Demonstration Plant Program. These are listed and described. (ERA citation 05:030072)
