2498.     ---------------.  [ODELL, W. W.]  Gasification of Solid Fuels in Germany by the Lurgi, Winkler, and Leuna Slagging-Type Gas-Producer Process.  Bureau of Mines Inf. Circ. 7415, 1947, 46 pp.; PB 97,778.

        Each of the 3 processes uses O₂ and steam, and the Winkler fluidized and the Lurgi pressure processes use finely divided, highly reactive fuel, whereas the slagging-type process uses sized furnace coke.  It is believed that the Winkler process as now developed and the Lurgi process with some improvement or in a modified form may be used effectively under certain conditions and with particular fuels in the United States.  This is especially true with low-cost fuel and O₂.  Operating data relative to the 3 processes are presented in tabulated and summarized form.  Some analysis of O₂ cost is given, and some data on the manufacture of city gas in conjunction with the production of synthetic liquid hydrocarbons are appended.
