Coal-Methanol-Slurry (CMS) is a new fuel composed of coal pulverized in a suitable particle size and methanol. The Mitui Coal Fluidization Consortium (MCFC) established in 1980 by 19 companies of the Mitsui group, has been developing CMS as a new alternative fuel to oil.
MCFC has exercised various tests which are supposed to relate to all elements in technologies necessary for the utilization of a large volume of CMS in the future . Favorable results are being obtained through these tests and many factors in relation to various phenomena are being clarified.
The results presented in this paper are based upon tests on such facilities as for producing, transportation, storage and combustion of CMS and methanol separation from CMS.
