Summary

The Fuller Company conducted tests to determine the feasibility of conveying Kerr-McGee ash concentrate (KMAC) by two different methods: a Fuller-Kinyon pump conveying system and a blowtank pneumatic transport system. The Fuller-Kinyon tests showed that a 1500-ft/min conveying velocity satisfied a wide range of KMAC flow conditions. No conveying problems occurred in either system at temperatures below 550/sup 0/F at this velocity. Also, no appreciable KMAC attrition was noted. Thus, technically, either system can convey KMAC satisfactorily. Additional studies conducted independently by GKT to compare the economics and on-stream reliability of both methods showed that the Fuller-Kinyon pump is more reliable and has a lower total cost than the blowtank system. Based on these results, ICRC included the Fuller-Kinyon pump conveying system in its Baseline Design for the SRC-I Demonstration Plant. 6 references, 15 figures, 9 tables.
