摘要

The Energy Security Act of 1980 established a program to provide financialassistance to private industry in the construction and operation of commercial-scale synthetic fuels plants. The Dow Syngas Project design has a high-temperature entrained-flow slagging type gasifier, which began operating in 1987. Dow agreed to comply with existing environmental regulations and to develop an Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) incorporating supplemental monitoring in areas of potential environmental and health concern,relative to synthetic fuels facilities. The phases of monitoring in the EMP tests parameters of interest in air, water and solid waste to establish a data base of information that can be applied to resolving environmental uncertainties relative to replication of synthetic fuels plants. This report contains results of monitoring in the areas of: Coal Slurry Preparation; gasification; Heat Recovery/Boiler; Selectamine/Selectox; Tank Vent Collection/Thermal Incineration; Power I/Power II; and Auxilliary Waste Streams.
