- Summary
- The following modifications to the pilot-scale test furnace were completed during the quarter: (1) cutting slots in the furnace roof to permit insertion of the bayonet cooling tubes and (2) the construction and installation on the furnace roof of a carriage for the cooling-water inlet manifolds and water-return troughs. Also, construction was initiated on the bayonet cooling tubes and the char-doping system. Because of problems that developed at the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) during operation of the existing reformer, which is owned by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Surface Combustion was requested to make several design modifications to the proposed gas-generating system to meet program performance requirements. Construction drawings that included these modifications were approved by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) program manager, and fabrication of the gas-generating system was begun by Surface Combustion in November. A foundation was installed for the reformer at the IGT Combustion Research facility in preparation for receiving this gas-generating system.
