Summary
Inherent with all coal liquefaction processes are streams containing coal-derived, heavy hydrocarbons and slurries of solid coal particles. The solid particles in the coal slurries (coal, silicate, and ash) cause erosion, corrosion, and fouling of heat exchangers. These high rates of erosion and corrosion cause rapid deterioration of the tubes. The flow media can polymerize and foul the tubes, ultimately plugging them and thus lowering the performance of the heat exchangers. For the optimum design of heat exchangers, the parameters which must be considered are erosion-corrosion rates; the fouling characteristics; the solid particle settling velocity; pressure drop; and the heat transfer coefficients of the fluids flowing through the heat exchanger. A study was performed to evaluate streams which should be investigated to obtain the desired heat exchanger design data. The results of this evaluation are presented along with a recommended test program.
