Mountain Fuel Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of Mountain Fuel Supply Company, Salt Lake City, Utah, is under contract with the US Department of Energy for a program to design, construct and operate a high-rate, entrained flow coal gasification process development unit. The design of the coal gasification PDU is based on earlier DOE-supported work at the Eyring Research Institute, Provo, Utah. The PDU is to be located adjacent to a brick plant operated by Interstate Brick Company in West Jordan, Utah. Work on equipment specifications was continued. The Gasifier Radiant Heat Exchanger Transition Pipe and Superheater Design Subcontract to Deutsche Babcock was approved in September. The Site Work Subcontract was approved and the work began in late September. The Site Fencing Subcontract was awarded and work is scheduled to start in October. Permits were obtained from the Utah Air Conservation Committee and the Utah Water Pollution Control Committee for the construction of the PDU in West Jordan, Utah. An equipment list (Attachment A) and a detailed project schedule (Attachment B) were prepared.
