Received December 16, 1974. The work upon which this report is based was done under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, Laramie Energy Research Center, and the University of Wyoming. Reference to specific trade names or manufacturers does not imply endorsement by the U.S.E.R.D.A. Prior to completion of this work Laramie Energy Research Center was a unit of the U.S. Bureau of Mines.

The flowsheet of a 1/2-ton (slurry) per day SYNTHOIL bench scale plant, currently in operation at the Energy Research and Development Administration laboratory in Bruceton, Pennsylvania, is shown in figure 1. The vertically placed reactor is made of two interconnected stainless steel tubings of 1.1-inch ID x 14.5-ft long each. The upper end of the first section is connected to the lower end of the second section with a 5/16-inch ID empty tubing. Thus, the plant may be operated with one or both sections of the reactor packed with catalyst while the fluids flow upwards through each. 

In the Energy Research and Development Administration s SYNTHOIL process, slurries of coal in recycle oil are hydrotreated on Co-Mo/Si02 Al203 catalyst in turbulent flow, packed-bed reactors. The reaction is conducted at 2,000 to 4,000 psi and about 450° C under which conditions coal is converted to low-sulfur liquid hydrocarbons and sulfur is eliminated as E2S.
