The goal of the study was to investigate how well traditional equipment can handle and burn solvent refined coal. The researchers modified equipment to test its performance and added special tools to monitor various factors during the tests. The results showed whether the equipment could effectively pulverize and burn the coal. The study aimed to help boiler manufacturers design new units for burning this type of coal and determine what changes might be needed for existing units.
