ABSTRACT:

Four liquefaction reactor operating modes were explored in the integrated laboratory scale indirect liquefaction system: (1) liquid hydrocarbon product slurry liquid, (2) fluidized bed, (3) Chevron wax slurry liquid, and (4) paraffin oil slurry liquid. A total of 11 runs were performed. Two attempts were shutdown prior to integration due to equipment problems. Two procedure changes were initiated in this period aimed at conserving the project budget: (1) elimination of startup of the liquefaction reactor with synthetic synthesis gas (from pure gas cylinders), and (2) reduction of the total allowable run length from 24 hours to 20 hours. 5 tabs.
