What Is The PSDF?
The PSDF is a joint-DOE/industry research facility
where advanced power systems can be tested in an
integrated environment at a scale sufficient to provide
confidence and data for commercial design.

Nitrogen Correction• Remove aeration & instrument nitrogen
– Commercial design will use recycle gas– Does not change Water Gas Shift
• Remove heat (coal) required to heat extra nitrogen– Removes N2, CO2, & H2O– Changes Water Gas Shift
• Adiabatic correction – Removes heat (coal) lost by reactor

Conclusions•Met commercial goals for gas heating values and carbon conversions for subbituminous PRB coal. •Hiawatha bituminous coal was successfully gasified in air and oxygen blown mode.•Hiawatha gas heating values consistent with PRB, but Hiawatha carbon conversions lower than PRB•Sulfur emissions were as predicted from thermodynamic equilibrium at low sulfur emissions when injecting limestone. •The Powder River Basin coal ash alkalinity was nearly sufficient to remove the equilibrium amount of synthesis gas sulfur. •The oxygen delivery and new lower mixing zone operated well, permitting stable Transport reactor operation on both enriched air and full oxygen-blown service.
