From page 188...
... The requirement of refinery integration may not be a severe limitation, because the predominant application of coprocessing is expected to be in retrofit situations. HRI coprocessing technology provides a clear link between laboratory and pilot plant development and possible near-term commercialization.

... The argument that this technology could be commercialized within the 5-year study time frame is based on the commercial status of the expanded bed technology and the successful operation of the H-coal pilot plant in Cattletsburg, Kentucky, in the early 1980s. This pilot plant operated at 500 tons/day of coal and produced about lSOO bbl/ day of liquids with the process configuration used.
