New Mexico Synfuels Project: Coal-Liquid Fuels and High-Btu Coal Gas. Feasibility Study. Volume 2. Plant Site, Resources, and Waste Disposal

摘要

Volume 2 considers site selection in detail and compares the advantages and disadvantages of 5 potential sites. Coal requirements for the plant are determined and the availability of coal resources, transport methods and materials handling and coal preparation are considered, including potential environmental and permitting constraints. Next, the water requirements are evaluated and then, the availability of water supply (including pumps, pipelines and reservoirs needed). Solid waste disposal methods (for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes) are evaluated (including permitting constraints). (ERA citation 09:000036)
