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.

Control Technology Assessment for Coal Gasification and Liquefaction Processes: Final Study Plan.

PB90153537

Publication Date	1979
Page Count	46
Abstract	A plan was detailed for an evaluation of engineering controls used in coal conversion processes. The study evaluated the different control methods, assessed and documented monitoring devices and work practices used to reduce or eliminate worker exposures and emissions, assessed and documented personal protective equipment, and reviewed and assessed the validity and accuracy of existing facility sampling data. Research needs were identified for new control technology and efforts were made to obtain accurate cost data for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of the controls evaluated. The first phase of the study involved a search of the existing literature for pertinent information. The second phase involved an evaluation of field facility surveys of performance and engineering control systems at various locations and analogous industries. Current control devices included valves, flanges, and miscellaneous tanks and storage bins. Various categories of control methods were discussed, including controls which result in containment of the harmful agent; controls which remove or reduce the concentration of the contaminants; controls which isolate or remove the worker from toxic agents; and controls and monitoring systems which warn the worker of hazardous conditions.
