Development and demonstration of the HCoal Process

The HCoal process catalytically converts coal to oil in an ebulated bed reactor. The 3 ton per day PDU was operated to demonstrate: (a) heavy boiler fuel oil mode operation, (b) operation at commercial reactor gas velocities, and (c) operation with high residum concentration in the reactor. Solid liquid separation was demonstrated by ...

Axens's HCoal process is also a twostage process (two catalytic reactors). Generally, the ICL process produces highcetane diesel and lowoctane naptha; the DCL process produces onspec diesel and highoctane naptha. (Headwaters points out the hybrid DCL/ICL process can produce premium gasoline and diesel fuel with minimal refining.)

The HCoal pilot plant and the Breckinridge Project

Abstract. A large coalliquefaction pilot plant is in operation at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, expanding on the HCoal technology. The pilot plant operated very successfully during 1981, confirming research yield data on eastern bituminous coal, demonstrating operability of the process, and resulting in a significant accumulation of engineering data.

Texaco TSTAR Process for ebullated bed hydrotreating/hydrocracking

Texaco TSTAR Process for ebullated bed hydrotreating/hydrocracking

The HCoal process, developed by Hydrocarbon Research, Incorporated (HRI), involves the direct catalytic hydroliquefaction of coal to lowsulfur boiler fuel or synthetic crude oil. The HCoal ebullated bed reactor contains at least four discrete components: gas, liquid, catalyst, and unconverted coal and ash.

Genesis, controls and risk prediction of H 2 S in coal mine gas

Genesis, controls and risk prediction of H 2 S in coal mine gas

Introduction. H 2 S is a colorless, highly toxic gas with an unpleasant odor. The Chinese "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" states that the H 2 S concentration of coal mine gas is considered abnormal if it concentration is greater than ppm 1 concentrations present a serious threat to life and property in well mines due to the risk of H 2 S outburst 3 6.

The HCoal Process The HCoal process liquifies coal to either boiler fuel or synthetic crude in the presence of an added particulate catalyst. To produce synthetic crude instead of boiler fuel, more hydrogen is added to the slurry and reactor residence times are increased. It was developed by Hydrocarbon Research, Inc. (HRI) and was selected ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the applicability of commercial UOP hydrotreating and reforming processes to naphthas derived from the HCoal process. Three naphthas were studied. One was the primary naphtha generated from the HCoal syncrude operation. The other two products were from hydrocracking HCoal gas oil.

HCoal Syncrude product streams, prepared from Illinois No. 6, Wyodak, or West Kentucky No. 11 coal were obtained from the HCoal Process Development Unit (PDU) and analyzed for physical properties, elemental compositions, trace metal levels, and molecular composition. The trace metal levels are generally low in all except the heavy fuel oils.

A key feature of the Hcoal process is the use of an ebullated bed for achieving good mixing between slurried coal, hydrogen, and extruded catalyst particles. The Hcoal reactor can be modeled as a fourphase fluid bed system containing liquid, fines, gases, and catalyst particles. In order to study the hydrodynamic behavior of this gas/slurry ...
