Preliminary Design Services Research and Development Report No. 114,July--September 1975. Interim Report No. 2.

摘要

The objective of the work is to develop preliminary designs and economic evaluations for a number of coal conversion plants. The following designs are included in the scope of work: a conceptual commercial plant for a Coal-Oil-Energy-Development (COED) plant;an Oil/Gas plant to produce liquid fuels plus substitute natural gas (SNG); a commercial-scale Fischer-Tropsch plant with motor fuel and SNG as the main products; a commercial-scale plant for the production of solvent-refined coal (SRC); a Coal Oil Gas Refinery (COG) to produce clean liquids,gas and electrical power generating capacity;and a facilities complex capable of demonstrating the commercial feasibility of a variety of coal conversion processes that show promise during pilot plant operations. The following facilities will be considered;conversion of coal to low to high Btu fuel gas methanol/motor fuel by Fischer-Tropsch process;and clean liquid fuels by alternate liquefaction processes. In addition,supporting efforts will be provided to the above activities. These efforts include planning and progress monitoring,equipment development,and environmental factors.
