HCoal Processes. In the HCoal process, pulverized coal is slurried with recycled oil and, along with hydrogen, fed into an ebullatedbed reactor, a feature that distinguishes this process from others. Reactor conditions are normally in the range of 825 to 875°F and 2,500 to 3,500 psig. The reactor contains a bed of catalytic particles ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Abstract. A large coalliquefaction pilot plant is in operation at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, expanding on the HCoal technology. The pilot plant operated very successfully during 1981, confirming research yield data on eastern bituminous coal, demonstrating operability of the process, and resulting in a significant accumulation of engineering data.
