Agglomerating Burner Gasification Process:Design,Installation,and Operation of a 25-Ton-a-Day Process Development Unit. Monthly Progress Report for May 1977.

摘要

This monthly report summarizes progress on the operation of the 25-ton-a-day coal gasification PDU to study the Agglomerating Burner Gasification Process. Also reported is work on the process engineering task and the activity on the turbine engineering study. Tests during the month established that,at least in the absence of solids circulation,the present burner design can be operated at superficial bed velocities up to 6ft/sec without excessive carryover of bed material into the cyclone. This month,for the first time,the integrated burner/gasifier system was operated with hot solids circulation and with the system temperatures maintained for an extended period solely by the burning of coal.
