EDS coal liquefaction process development. Phase IV. Interim report
Work was completed on revising the onsites basis for the Illinois Coal Base Case of the EDS Commercial Plant Study Design Update. Objectives of the Study Design Update include the incorporation of latest laboratory and engineering results into an updated framework of investment costs and economics, and the further identification of process and equipment areas requiring additional development. The onsites basis was revised to reflect changes resulting from the design phase. Liquefaction train size and slurry furnace bases were developed for the Illinois Study Design Update. Two liquefaction lines will be provided in each plant train, each line consisting of slurry furnace, reactor, and separators. The entire line will shut down as required for decoking of the slurry furnace, estimated to take place on a six-month cycle. With this operating plan, a spare slurry furnace is not needed. Outlines of operating procedures were prepared for startup, shutdown and unit outages, both scheduled and unscheduled. Tankage needs were identified. Based on these analyses, a preliminary product recovery factor of 80 to 85% was estimated.
