The primary objective of this project is to develop a continuous mild gasification process which will meet the needs stated above. The program consists of four tasks. Task 1 was a literature survey of mild gasification processes and product upgrading methods as well as a market assessment of mild gasification products. Based on the results of the literature survey, a mild gasification process and a char upgrading method were selected. Task 2 consists of bench-scale studies with the selected mild gasification reactor to generate the design data for the larger scale reactor. Task 3 consists of bench-scale char upgrading studies. Upon successful completion of Tasks 2 and 3, optional Task 4 will be construction and operation of an integrated process development unit. A technical and economic evaluation of a continuous mild gasification demonstration plant will also be conducted. 3 refs.
