Volume II is intended for use with Volume I for the development of specific coal mine-coal conversion plant interface designs. This volume deals with individual interface design modules grouped into operational categories. For most module presentations, the following information is provided: facility description, estimated capital costs, estimated mean annual operating costs and major equipment list. Facility descriptions are intended to provide an understanding of module content and the major alternatives considered in module conceptual design. Using the module descriptions and cost estimates, users of this report will be able to construct an interface of their choosing, for initial evaluation and feasibility studies. Should an Integrated Coal Mine Complex be determined appropriate for a specific site, either automated mine trains or conveyor systems for coal transport can be selected and subjected to site-specific analysis. Further, if coal cleaning is desired, a module for that operation can be included in specific interface designs. The number of interfaces which can be constructed for evaluation of site-specific or equipment constraints is limited only by the imagination of the user.
