Confirmation test for gas/slurry flow in SRC-I coal liquefaction process. Internal R and D final report

Description: The overall objective of program 12.11.1 was to provide data needed to confirm the design of the transport system, slurry heat exchangers, and slurry feed manifolds for the SRC-I Demonstration Plant. Because of lack of funds, the program was terminated before most of the work was completed. Two studies related to distribution of two-phase flow in the heat exchanger tubes were finished. A special system was designed to measure slurry concentration and flow rate in different tubes. Results showed… more

Sampling and analysis of trace-organic constituents in ambient and workplace air at coal-conversion facilities

Description: A review of the recent literature reveals that current sampling procedures involve the use of glass fiber filters for particulate-sorbed organics and sorbent resins such as Tenax GC and XAD-2 for vapor-phase organics. Ultra trace-organic analysis of air pollutants or particulates may require the collection of a large (1000 to 3000 m/sup 3/) sample by a high volume air sampler. Personal air sampling requires a smaller (approx. = 0.5 m/sup 3/) and a portable collection apparatus. Trapped organic … more

Preliminary flashing multiphase flow analysis with application to letdown valves in coal-conversion processes

Description: As part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's technical support to large coal liquefaction projects, attempts have been made to (1) develop the methodology for characterizing and predicting multicomponent, multiphase, non-Newtonian flow behavior within letdown valves and devices, and (2) analyze the fluid flow in the entire letdown region of the process. An engineering model that can be used in the analysis of multicomponent, multiphase, flashing, flowing systems has been developed. A pre… more

Coal technology program. Progress report, October 1977

Description: Two blocks of Pittsburgh seam bituminous coal were pyrolyzed under reducing gas in the project in support of in situ gasification. Higher heating rates appear to reduce swelling of the block during pyrolysis, and higher final pyrolysis temperature results in lower boiling tars. Three pressurized residue carbonization tests were completed at 1100/sup 0/F and 400 psi of methane with three feed materials. Work is in progress on the fracture toughness of thick sections of steels for piping and pres… more

Analysis of valve springs from hydrogen compressor at Solvent Refined Coal Plant, Wilsonville, Alabama

Description: Failure of hydrogen compressor valve springs at the Wilsonville, Alabama, Solvent Refined Coal Plant caused a total plant shutdown. Type 304 stainless steel springs had been substituted for two of three alloy X750 springs. Mainly because of their geometry, the type 304 stainless steel springs operated at a higher stress than the proper springs, and it is not surprising that they failed. The only as-fractured surface was on the alloy X750 spring. Edge damage caused by rubbing of the springs agai… more

Coal conversion siting on coal mined lands: water quality issues

Description: The siting of new technology coal conversion facilities on land disturbed by coal mining results in both environmental benefits and unique water quality issues. Proximity to mining reduces transportation requirements and restores disrupted land to productive use. Uncertainties may exist, however, in both understanding the existing site environment and assessing the impact of the new technology. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is currently assessing the water-related impacts of proposed coal conve… more
