Appendix B:<br />

Composite Fuel Blend to Texaco Gasifier<br />

Solids requirement: 55 wt. % solids<br />

Black liquor solids content: 0.17 kg solid/kg weak black liquor<br />

Assuming 100 kg <strong>of</strong> black liquor feed:<br />

83 kg water<br />

17 kg black liquor solids<br />

To achieve 55 wt% solids:<br />

( 17 + x)<br />

17 + 83 + x<br />

( )<br />

= 0.55<br />

Coal requirement = x = 84.4 kg<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong> solids distribution 84.4 kg coal/17 kg black liquor <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> composition <strong>of</strong> coal <strong>an</strong>d<br />

black liquor, <strong>the</strong> composite fuel blend composition was calculated using Excel.<br />
