Project A-7: Demetallization Pretreatment for Hydrodesulfurization of Heavy
Residual Oils to Produce Low Sulfur, Low Ash Fuel Oils
At the meeting, tests and schedules have been discussed for Project A-7.
Both sides have agreed that two types of dem6tallization runs will be con-
-ducted. The first type is called screening tests and the second type is
called long duration runs. The tests to be performed in the United States
are shown in Table 1. The tests to be performed in the USSR are shown in
Table 2. Also shown are other pertinent data. The conditions are shown in
Table 3.
The main purpose of the screening tests is to determine if results already
available in each Country can be reasonably well reproduced in the other.
Country. This will indicate that differences in test equipment,' procedures,
and other undefined differences do or do not affect the results. Additionally,
these tests provide a relatively inexpensive and timely way of evaluating
materials, test and analytical procedures, test conditions, etc., that are
unfamiliar to each side. These tests will also provide some background data
for use in subsequent long duration tests.
The long duration tests are designed to provide sufficient demetallization
data on catalyst and oils so that each Country will have a good knowledge of
the state-of-the-art in the other Country and the relative advantages and
disadvantages of each test combination. The length of the tests was selected
with this in mind. Also, the test duration will produce sufficient demetallized
feed to allow subsequent desulfurization tests of 20 to 25 days, if the data
deinctallization is satisfactory.

The test run conditions were selected on the basis of each Country's
experience with the respective oils. If during screening tests or long
duration tests either Country finds that these conditions are unsatisfactory,
they will, notify the other Country of the situation and an attempt to arrive
at more acceptable test conditions will be made.
Upon completion of the screening tests, the results will be exchanged
and, if no problems were encountered, only a minimum of data review time
will be utilized. After the review, the long duration runs will be initiated.
The target test schedules are shown in Table 4 with the actual starting date
being mainly determined by receipt of all necessary materials.
For each run that is conducted a?series of analyses will be performed
as shown in Table 5 and demetallized product samples exchanged. All materials
to be exchanged are shown in Tables 6 and 7.
After completion of these tests and exchange of data, a final report,
that is co-authored by both sides will be prepared. This report will describe
the work and results of these investigations.
Either during or after the long duration tests further communications
regarding additional tests will be entered into.

I. Background
Oil and coal combined--cycle power generation systems are at interest to
both the US and the USSR. The purification) of the products of gasification
and combustion is of major importance to both long-teem operation of the poser
generation system and for environmental protection. ?
2. Objective
It is the objective of this effort to jointly select the best integrated
gasification, clean up and combined-cycle power plant system and to prepare
preliminary designs of these selected combinations which would form the basis
for additional effort that could result in the design of a full scale plant.
I. Scope of Work
Task I
Information will be exchanged that would present the best power generation
with,combined cycle'concepts in both countries. This information should be
concise and conceptual in technical details and will 'include the following:
-- Cycle configurations, coal/oil gasification, fuel gas clean up
and power generation consisting of flow diagrams, operating
parameters and material balances. Configurations will bc identified
as either base, intermediate on peak loading type operation s.

instead of absolute values.
--- To provide for a basis of comparison both sides will present
a cost analysis of a conventional coal/oil fired power plant.
This plant should include emission control and consist of five (5),
500 megawatts steam power units (540OC, 1.60 atm).
-- A concise the-state-of-art of the integrated combined cycle power
generation technology in both countries will be prepared. Included
will be a list of all combined cycle installations.
Task II
One month ;after the. exchange of information described in Task. I has been
completed, a meeting will be held to discuss the exchanged information. The
proceeding discussions and results of this meeting will be presented in a
report jointly prepared by both sides and will be published in both countries.
Task III
Based on the results, information and program defined in Task II, on the
best conceptual designs of an integrated oil and coal gasification,'clean up
and combined cycle power plants, both sides will conduct engineering studies
of these selected (1 or 2 configurations by.each side). The studies would
address the technology, economics and operating conditions to a level that would
be a basis for an engineering design of a commercial operations. The results

 One month after the exchanged material has been received, both sides
will meet to discuss and review the, information. The result of the enginecr~.
evaluation (Task IV) will be used' to identify the best one or two designs
for a comnmercial. integrated coal and oil. gasification, clean up and combined
cycle power plant. During this meeting , f%irther cooperative effort and
programs will be determined. The results of this meeting will be jointly
written summarizing the results and recommendations of the group and
included in the results from Task I through Task IV.
The results of the parametric studies will he used to identify the
best one or two conceptual designs for integrated oil gasification, clean
up and combined--cycle power plants and the best one or two conceptual designs
for integrated coal gasification, clean up and combined cycle plants which
would be used as the basis for study for future cooperation.
The report will define future work which would fulfill the intent of
this project which is to result in the best design of a commercial plant.
At that time, the working group will define the future program.
3. Schedule
Experts from the US and USSR will meet in the U. S. prior to the third
working group meeting. If the project is finalized and approved by the
working group, the following tentative schedule is projected:
Task I - 4 months
Task II - 6 months
Task III - 12 months
Task IV - 14 months

6-12: Gas Cleaning Systems for Coal and Oil Gasific,:i:ion Systems
Gas Cleaning Systems for the Coal and the Oil Gasification used in Power
Generation Plants.
1. Background
Both the US and the USSR are develo;:ing gas cleaning = des ulfun atien
and particle removal - systems adapted to use in fuel gasification for power
generation plants. These systems produce a clean gaseous fuel either for a
steam boiler or for a gas turbine combustor. Various processes produce the
fuel gas at temperatures from 500 ?C (900?F) to 1500?C (2700?F) and at
pressures from 1 atm to 30 atm. Similarly, various gas cleaning processes
operate at temperatures from 60?C (150?F) to 1000?C (1800?F) and at pressures
from 1 atm to 30 atm. If a low temperature cleaning system is employed, a
meads for cooling the fuel gas is required; means for recovering its thermal
energy may also be required. Practical low temperature gas cleaning systems
are based on scrubbing with aqueous solutions. High temperature desulfurization
based on solid sorbents limestone/dolimite, iron oxide, manganese oxide,
etc. - and departicularization based on cyclones and granular filters have been
studied in both the US and the USSR.
2. Objectives
The objective of the work is to identify the most promising gas cleaning
systems for fuel gasification power generation plants and to recommend a
program which will complete the development and first full scale operation of
such systems.

3. Scope of Work
Task I
Data to be used jr, the wort; will be asSCMblcd by responsible
organizations in the US and the. USSR. Information exchmigcd describing the
systems -- flow diagrams operating conditions, material and energy balances,
performance, and the state of develop!-,cont., The advantages and d:LS~:I.J nt:~ ges
of each system will be discussed. Data would also address the relative
economics of each concept.
Task II
One month after exchanged material has been received, a meeting will
be held to discuss the exchanged material. All. material. must be received
from both sides one month prior to the meeting.
Task III
Selection of z preferred or best gas cleaning systems - one for'
operation at low temperature and-one for operation at high temperature will
be made by the US and by the USSR. These selctions will be made based on
estimates of performance and economics. The data and methods for evaluating
the systems will be shared, unless previously established proprietary rights
prevent such sharing. Both the technology and philosophy of the evaluation
process will be discussed.
Task IV
The results of the work will be presented in a joint final report. This
document will not only summarize work accomplished results achieved, and
conclusions, reached, it will recommend further studies, laboratory work,
pilot plant investigations and demonstration efforts to achieve successful
cleaning systems for fuel gasification power plants.
