Production of mild gasification coproducts

Description: The LFC process upgrades young coals and lignites to a solid fuel which resembles higher rank coals and coproduces a liquid that resembles fuel oil. During the natural metamorphic process of pressure and heat, younger lower rank coals are converted to older higher rank coals over a period of greater than 100 million years. SGI's LFC process accomplishes this transformation in less than an hour, producing solid Process Derived Fuel (PDF) and liquid Coal Derived Liquid (CDL) coproducts. The copro… more

Production of mild gasification coproducts

Description: In summary, the co-product production runs performed by the SGI Development Center yielded sufficient simulated PDF (process derived fuel) and CDL (coal derived liquid) to meet the production needs for each of the four coals. The LFC Process appears to be an attractive method for upgrading all of the coals except for the Knife River Coal because of its limited yield and difficulty in processing. The Buckskin coal appears to be a slightly stronger candidate for upgrading than the other three coa… more

Assessment of Research Needs for Coal Utilization

Description: The Coal Combustion and Applications Working Group (CCAWG), at the request of J.W. Mares (Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy) and A.W. Trivelpiece (Director, Office of Energy Research), has reviewed and evaluated the U.S. programs on coal combustion and utilization. The important topical areas of coal gasification and coal liquefaction have been deliberately excluded because R and D needs for these technologies were reviewed previously by the DOE Fossil Energy Research Working Group. The CCA… more

Evaluation of fine-particle size catalysts using standard test procedures

Description: The goal of this project is to evaluate and compare the activities/selectivities of fine-particle size catalysts being developed in the DOE/PETC Advanced Research (AR) Liquefaction Program by using standard coal liquefaction activity test procedures. Since bituminous and subbituminous coals have significantly different properties, it is feasible that catalysts may perform differently with these coal types. Because all previous testing has been done with the DECS-17 Blind Canyon bituminous coal,… more
