WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR THE LIQUIFICATION OF COAL USING THE H-COAL PROCESS Edward J. Reap, Project Engineer Gary M. Davis, Project Manager John H. Koon, Director of Wastewater Management Associated Water and Air Resources Engineers, Inc. Nashville, Tennessee 37204 Michael J. Duffy, Corporate Environmental Coordinator Ashland Oil, Inc. Ashland, Kentucky 41101 INTRODUCTION In an effort to meet the ever expanding demand for energy, increasing emphasis is being placed upon substitution of the nation's abundant coal reserves for the rapidly declining crude oil reserves in the U.S. One approach currently receiving serious consideration is the liquefaction of coal directly into liquid hydrocarbons. One of the more promising methods for coal liquefaction is the H-Coal process developed by Hydrocarbon Research Incorporated (HRI). BACKGROUND: THE H-COAL PROCESS The H-Coal process evolved from HRI's H-Oil process for the hydrotreating of heavy residuals from petroleum refining operations. Actual development of the H-Coal technology began in the early 1960s when HRI investigated the feasibility of applying its H-Oil technology to the hydrogenation, desulfurization and liquefaction of coal. Subsequent bench-scale investigations proved encouraging and HRI continued its experimental program throughout the 1960s under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Interior Office of Coal Research (OCR). Encouraged by the results of HRI's bench-scale studies, several industrial participatn including Ashland Oil, Inc., agreed to fund athree-year expanded development program to further assess the technical and economic viability of the HCoal process. With the successful completion of ths program, the assistance of the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) was enlisted for the construction and operation of a full-scale pilot plant facility. The pilot plant, to be located in the vicinity of Ashland Oil's Catlettsburg refinery, will be capable of processing up to 600 tons/day of coal, as shown in Figure 1, and may be operated in either one of two modes: (a) the production of synthetic crude oil, or (b) the production of heavy fuel oils. Funding for the $178,000,000 three-phase project will be provided by ERDA and the industrial participants shown in Table I; ERDA will provide 80% of the funds, with the remainder furnished by the industrial participants. The work reproted herein was performed under phase one of this funding. PROCESS DESCRIPTION The pilot plant will be generally divided into four operational areas: 929
