Coal Gasoline Pilot Uses Nuclear Controls Near Moundsville
The Cresap pilot plant for coal liquefaction near Moundsville uses automatic nuclear reactor controls to regulate catalyst level in four reactors. The system, supplied by Robert Shaw Controls, operates without interior probes and links to radiation detectors on opposite walls. OCR funds and Consol and Standard Oil of Ohio lead the project begun over a decade ago to produce gasoline from coal, with full-scale plants planned after pilot data.
