The overall objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate an improved, high efficiency, integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) electric power generation system on a process development unit (PDU) scale. The work includes investigations of in-situ desulfurization and hot gas cleanup as applied to the Texaco. Coal Gasification Process. New specialized instrumentation, being developed by DOE/METC for coal gasification, also will be tested during this project. BACKGROUND STATEMENT: The Texaco Coal Gasification Process (TCGP) is a second generation, commercially proven coal gasification process that is capable of meeting all present and proposed environmental regulations. There are currently three commercial plants in operation (excluding the Cool Water plant which has been shut down after a five year successful demonstration) with two more under
