National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Clean Automotive Fuel. Laboratory-Scale Operation of the Synthane Process.

PB207405

Publication Date	1972
Personal Author	Forney, A. J.; Haynes, W. P.; Elliott, J. J.; Kenny, R. F.
Page Count	11
Abstract	A high-Btu gas was made to demonstrate the feasibility of using the gas as a nonpolluting fuel for automobiles. The pilot plants were revised to combine the processes of coal gasification, gas purification, and catalytic methanation in one overall system. Tests showed the Synthane gas was less polluting than natural gas. (Author)
