Recent regulatory experience of low-Btu coal gasification. Volume III. Supporting case studies

Description: The MITRE Corporation conducted a five-month study for the Office of Resource Applications in the Department of Energy on the regulatory requirements of low-Btu coal gasification. During this study, MITRE interviewed representatives of five current low-Btu coal gasification projects and regulatory agencies in five states. From these interviews, MITRE has sought the experience of current low-Btu coal gasification users in order to recommend actions to improve the regulatory process. This report … more

Design and evaluation of Cities Service/Rockwell hydrogasification commercial plant

Description: This report covers a preliminary conceptual design and economic evaluation of a commercial scale plant capable of converting high-sulfur bituminous caking coal to a high-Btu pipeline quality SNG. The plant, which has a rated capacity of 250 Billion Btu per day SNG, is based on Cities Service/Rockwell hydrogasification technology. Two cases of plant design were examined to produce cost estimates accurate to +-25% in 1979 dollars. The base case, designed for moderate production of liquids (5.8% c… more

PARTICLE TRANSPORT AND DEPOSITION IN THE HOT-GAS FILTER AT WILSONVILLE

Description: Particle transport and deposition in the Wilsonville hot-gas filter vessel is studied. The filter vessel contains a total of 72 filters, which are arranged in two tiers. These are modeled by six upper and one lower cylindrical effective filters. An unstructured grid of 312,797 cells generated by GAMBIT is used in the simulations. The Reynolds stress model of FLUENT{trademark} (version 5.0) code is used for evaluating the gas mean velocities and root mean-square fluctuation velocities in the ves… more

Determining thermal diffusivity and defect attributes in ceramic matrix composites by infrared imaging.

Description: Ceramic matrix composites are being developed for numerous high temperature applications, including rotors and combustors for advanced turbine engines, heat exchanger and hot-gas filters for coal gasification plants. Among the materials of interest are silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced-silicon-carbide (SiC{sub (f)}/SiC), silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced-silicon-nitride (SiC{sub (f)}/Si{sub 3}N{sub 4}), aluminum-oxide-reinforced-alumina (Al{sub 2}O{sub 3(f)}/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}), etc. In the manufa… more

Validation of the materials-process-product model (coal SNG). [Estimating method for comparing processes, changing assumptions and technology assessment]

Description: The use of coal as a source of high Btu gas is currently viewed as one possible means of supplementing dwindling natural gas supplies. While certain coal gasification processes have demonstrated technical feasibility, much uncertainty and inconsistency remains regarding the capital and operating costs of large scale coal conversion facilities; cost estimates may vary by as much as 50%. Studies conducted for the American Gas Association (AGA) and US Energy Research and Development Administration… more

Coal feeder survey for Illinois coal gasification group. [Lockhopper, Fuller Kinyon screw, Foster Miller pocket feeder]

Description: An evaluation of three coal feeder concepts (lockhopper, Fuller Kinyon screw and Foster Miller pocket feeder) for use in the ICGG first stage gasifier was made. For the sake of consistency, all feed concepts were evaluated on the same basis, that is, feeding a nominal 100 Tons per hour (TPH) against a back pressure of 50 psig. Also, all feed systems were assumed to have similar atmospheric storage hoppers and final injection systems. Accordingly, no further consideration of these support system… more

Contamination of Optical Windows by a Dust-Laden Stream

Description: The present work represented a laboratory study to assess optical access ports (OAP) effectiveness of three different designs. The flow conditions were controlled and OAP geometries were simple. These experiments are important for understanding the basic mechanics of OAP operation. For applications to coal conversion process streams, the design features become increasingly complex and the OAP must be operational at a specific location. Laboratory experiments addressed the rate of contamination … more

Low-Btu coal-gasification-process design report for Combustion Engineering/Gulf States Utilities coal-gasification demonstration plant. [Natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil to natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil or low Btu gas]

Description: This report describes a coal gasification demonstration plant that was designed to retrofit an existing steam boiler. The design uses Combustion Engineering's air blown, atmospheric pressure, entrained flow coal gasification process to produce low-Btu gas and steam for Gulf States Utilities Nelson No. 3 boiler which is rated at a nominal 150 MW of electrical power. Following the retrofit, the boiler, originally designed to fire natural gas or No. 2 oil, will be able to achieve full load po… more

Environmental options for coal use. [Navajo Reservation]

Description: The coal resources available to the Navajo Nation have been discussed previously at this conference. Perhaps no resource offers more options for its development than coal, and these options can produce significantly different environmental impacts depending on which options are chosen and how they are implemented. The options for coal development are: (1) coal combustion to generate electricity, (2) coal gasification, (3) in situ gasification, and (4) shipping coal out of the region. Probably t… more
