This quarterly report is the fifth for Contract DE-AC22-87PC79818. Objective is to extend and optimize UOP`s single-stage slurry-catalyzed co-processing scheme, which was devleoped under previous Contract DE-AC22-84PC70002. Particular emphasis is given to defining and improving ssscatalyst utilization and costs, evaluating alternative and disposable slsurry-catalyst systems, and improving catalyst recycle and recovery techniques. Work during this quarter has concentrated on Tasks 3.1.1 (pilot plant modification), 3.1.2 (plant recertification), and 3.1.3 (reactor back-mixing study). Results of these tasks are discussed
