Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company

The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company provided the SRC-II process products that were used as feeds in these studies. They were produced in the Fort Lewis, Washington, pilot plant from a West Virginia coal (Pittsburg Seam, Blacksville No. 2 Mine of the Consolidated Coal Company). 

The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company supplied the SRC-II feed. The results reported here were obtained under DOE Contract EF-76-C-01-2315. 

Materials. Samples of SRC II middle and heavy distillates were obtained from the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company. These were distilled into 50°C boiling point range fractions and labeled as follows MD-2 (150-200°C), MD-3 (200-250°C), MD-4 (250-300°C), HD-2 (300-350°C), HD-3 (350-400°C), and HD-4 (400-450°C). HD-3 and HD-4 could not be used in the apparatus because they contained solids at room temperature. 

Samples of SRC II naphtha, middle distillate, and heavy distillates were provided by Mr. David Schmalzer of the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company.
