From page 185...
... Example Understanding the chemical structure of coal might lead to less severe and more optimal reaction conditions. Exploratory Research Building in part on the knowledge available from fundamental research and recognizing the problem areas in process R&D, exploratory research generates new innovative technical approaches through the use of small, low-cost, bench-scale experiments.
From page 186...
... These concepts are usually tested in nonintegrated experiments, to show process and equipment feasibility, test operating limits, and produce data for preliminary evaluation. Desired Results—Definition of process variable effects to define desired operating points and economics and to form the basis for an integrated pilot plant design.
From page 187...
... the effective construction and operation of a commercial unit when one is appropriate. Program Area This is defined as that portion of the program dealing with a particular technology resource combination, such as direct coal liquefaction by highpressure hydrogenation, coal gasification, mild coal gasification, underground coal gasification, oil shale retorting, and tar sands extraction.
