ABSTRACT:

On May 12, 13, and 14, 1982, EPRI sponsored the Seventh Annual EPRI Contractors' Conference on Coal Liquefaction. The conference was organized by the EPRI Clean Liquid and Solid Fuels Program of the Advanced Fossil Power Systems Department. Presentations were made by both EPRI contractors and distinguished invited guests on their work in the following topical areas: Operation of large coal liquefaction pilot plants, two-stage liquefaction, and liquefaction-related research. The conferees discussed the operations of the large pilot plants, which are testing the H-Coal, Exxon Donor Solvent, and VEBA/OEL technologies. Three different configurations of two-stage liquefaction were presented by Kerr-McGee Corp. and Wilsonville, Lummus Co., and Chevron Research Company. R and D results were discussed by representatives of University of Wyoming, Kerr-McGee, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Conoco Inc., and Chem Systems Inc. These papers represent the current and much of the future possibilities for coal liquids. Fifteen papers have been entered individually with EDB and ERA. (ERA citation 08:017033)
