PNP prototype plant nuclear process heat. Status Report at the end of the concept phase from 1.8.1975 — 30.11.1976. Volume III. Research and development on hydrogenation gasification of coal (HKV)

Automatic translation: Summary: As part of the project ''Prototype Plant Nuclear Process Heat'' (PNP), the Rheinische Braunkohlenwerke AG carried out the R&D work on the hydrogenation gasification of Brown and hard coal through. As early as 1973, the planning of a test facility for hydrogenating gasification with an output of 100 kg C/h corresponding to approx. 400 kg of raw lignite per hour or approx. 150 kg of hard coal per hour. The facility was designed so that all essential Process parameters such as B. pressure, temperature, composition of the gasification agent and throughputs of Coal and gasifier can be varied. For the collection, the statistical processing, the Accounting and documentation of the test data was carried out a computer system is provided. In mid-1974 the construction of the plant began and Commissioning took place in mid-1975.
