The Case of Coal Water Slurry Fuel for Industrial Use in Pakistan

This research presents the case for design and development of Coal Water Slurry (CWS) Plant for industrial use in Pakistan. After exclusive comparison between coal quality quantification for CWS it was found that Darra mines at Pakistan provide best coal for CWS. Highly volatile, A and B Bituminous coal and Sub-Bituminous coal is selected for making CWS because of its low Sulfur contents, Ash contents and high heating value through experimentation. The purpose of this research was to present a complete blue print for the production of coal water slurry fuel in Pakistan. The measured viscosity and heat contents of the tested CWS are of the order 490 mPa-sec and 23.8 KJ/kg, respectively.
