The HCoal processes: A status report A catalytic process (HCoal) involving the direct hydrogenation of coal to produce hydrocarbon liquids is described. Benchscale and pilot plant development of the HCoal process is reported. Emphasis is placed on a proposed pilot plant which will be the largest coal liquefaction plant online in the, processing up to 600 tpd of coal.
Specifically, Dow is testing the liquids produced from four coal liquefaction processes (COED, SRC, Synthoil, and HCoal) in standard petrochemical processing experiments and is evaluating these results to select one process for further study, based on process design, quality of chemicals produced, and overall plant economics.
The HCoal process was a starting basis for subsequent process development sponsored by the US DOE over about three decades time. A principal focus of this longterm project was RD of catalysts that were tolerant of, and would not be rapidly deactivated by, coalderived mineral matter in the reactor. Typical early catalysts showed rapid ...
The Hcoal process of Hydrocarbon Research was developed in a 200 t/d plant in Catlettsburg (Kentucky). The main partners participating in this project were the DOE and Ashland Oil together with other energy com panies. Hydrogenation is conducted under relatively mild reaction condi tions of 455 and 210 bar with a cobalt/molybdenum catalyst.
The HCoal process is being developed by Hydro carbon Research, Inc. under the joint sponsorship of (1) ERDA, (2) a private industry consortium composed of Electric Power Research Institute, Ashland Oil, Inc., Conoco Coal Development Company, Mobil Oil Corporation and Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and (3) the Commonwealth of Kentucky. ...
This report presents the results of a technical and economic evaluation of the HCoal process and the coaltomethanol process for the production of liquid fuels from coal. Evaluations are based on capital cost estimates, in mid1982 dollars, for commercial size, selfcontained plants with a nominal liquid product capacity of 50,000 fuel oil ...
A process that has been used for the conversion of coal to liquid products is the HCoal Process disclosed in Pat. Nos. 3,519,555 and 3,540,995 which converts coal to gaseous and liquid products by hydrogenation in an ebullated catalyst bed reactor.
The coal conversion process to be used is the HCOAL process, which is in the pilot plant testing stage under the auspices of the US Department of Energy at the HCOAL Pilot Plant Project near Catlettsburg, Kentucky. The preliminary plans for the commercial plant are for a 18,140 metric ton/day (24,000 ton/day) nominal coal assumption capacity ...

These include two solvent refined coal processes (SRCI and II), Hcoal (a catalytic liquefaction process) and Exxon donor solvent (EDS). The DOE health and environmental research program includes shortterm screening of coalderived materials for possible health and environmental effects. Longerterm assays are used to evaluate materials ...
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.
Abstract. The book discusses the establishment of the Synthetic Fuels Corporation by the Energy Security Act and the barriers to commercialization of coal gasification, coal liquefaction, and oil shale technologies for synfuel production; reviews the equipment and processes for coal gasification and coal liquefaction; assesses the current status of the HCoal Process; illustrates the ...
This document contains the final results of an investigation to determine the suitability of the COED, HCOAL, SYNTHOIL, and SRC II syncrudes as petrochemical feedstocks. Based on the results of laboratory investigations, conversions of the liquid products to petrochemical feedstocks per ton of coal fed to each liquefaction process was % ...
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 rerun HCoal atmospheric still bottoms (Hcoal gas oil) were used to evaluate the relative hydrogenation activity of three UOP commercial catalysts. The UOPDCB catalyst, which was found to have the highest hydrogenation activity, was employed in the HCoal gas oil hydrotreating process more » variable studies.
The Energy Environmental Research Center (EERC) conducted a laboratoryscale coalderived graphene (CDG) project focused on developing a technological process for making graphene from four domestic coal or coal wastes, including lignite from North Dakota, subbituminous coal from Wyoming, bituminous coal from Utah, and anthracite from Pennsylvania.
The fluid dynamics occurring in HRI's Hcoal process development unit coal liquefaction reactor during Run PDU10 were measured and compared with Amoco Oil coldflow fluidization results. It was found that catalyst bed expansions and gas holdups are higher in the PDU than those observed in the coldflow tests for slurries having the same ...
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 ...
The main gas components produced in the process of coal oxidation and spontaneous combustion include CO, CO 2, CH 4, C 2 H 4, C 2 H 6, and C 2 H 2. Among them, coal reacts with oxygen at ordinary temperatures to produce CO, CO 2, and CH 4 as well as including coal analysis. In the part of the index gas detection experiment, the aforementioned ...
HCoal, a catalytic hydroliquefaction process developed by Hydrocarbon Research, Inc. for conversion of coal to highquality, clean liquids, has advanced to the stage of commercial evaluation with the construction in Catlettsburg, Kentucky of a 600 ton/day pilot plant which will produce up to 2,500 barrels per day of liquid product.
