Title: Coal slurry dewatering - a comparison of on-site versus off-site dewatering
Abstract: The relative merits of two methods of dewatering coal slurry being considered for application to pipeline coal are compared. First, the on-site dewatering method is examined. This is the system presently installed at the Mohave Station of Southern California Edison. The coal slurry goes directly into storage tanks at the power plant. From storage, it is pumped to centrifuges for dewatering. The centrifuges discharge directly into the pulverizers and from there into the furnace. Next off-site dewatering is considered. The slurry goes to a dewatering plant, which will supply a dewatered, dried coal to the power plant. The power plant will be equipped with a complete coal handling system including car dumpers, storage and reclaim systems, conveyors, coal bunkers, coal feeders and other necessary equipment for handling the dried coal plus coal from other sources. This system is being considered for the ETSI pipeline, which would supply coal to the Arkansas Power and Light Company's White Bluff Plant. 6 refs.
