    • The Caterpillar Coal Gasification Facility 
      Welsh, J.; Coffeen, W. G., III (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      This paper is a review of one of America's premier coal gasification installations. The caterpillar coal gasification facility located in York, Pennsylvania is an award winning facility. The plant was recognized as the ...
    • Environmental Permitting of a Low-BTU Coal Gasification Facility 
      Murawczyk, C.; Stewart, J. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The high price of natural gas and fuel oil for steam/power generation has alerted industry's decision makers to potentially more economical ways to provide the needed energy. Low-Btu fuel gas produced from coal appears to ...
    • An Evaluation of Low-BTU Gas from Coal as an Alternate Fuel for Process Heaters 
      Nebeker, C. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      As the price gap between oil and natural gas and coal continues to widen, Monsanto has carefully searched out and examined opportunities to convert fuel use to coal. Preliminary studies indicate that the low-btu gas produced ...
    • Gas Turbines Increase the Energy Efficiency of Industrial Processes 
      Banchik, I. N.; Bohannan, W. R.; Stork, K.; McGovern, L. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      It is a well known fact that the gas turbine in a combined cycle has a higher inherent Carnot efficiency than the steam cycle which has been more generally accepted by industry. Unlike steam turbines, gas turbines do not ...
    • The Mansfield Two-Stage, Low BTU Gasification System: Report of Operations 
      Blackwell, L. T.; Crowder, J. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The least expensive way to produce gas from coal is by low Btu gasification, a process by which coal is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting it with air and steam. Low Btu gas, which is used near its point ...
    • The Role of Oxygen in Coal Gasification 
      Klosek, J.; Smith, A. R.; Solomon, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Air Products supplies oxygen to a number of coal gasification and partial oxidation facilities worldwide. At the high operating pressures of these processes, economics favor the use of 90% and higher oxygen purities. The ...
    • Testing Kentucky Coal to Set Design Criteria for a Lurgi Gasification Plant 
      Roeger, A., III; Jones, J. E., Jr. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Tri-State Synfuels Company, in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, undertook a comprehensive coal testing program to support the development of an indirect coal liquefaction project. One of the major elements ...
