Pipeline gas demonstration plant. Phase I. Abbreviated version of process evaluation report conceptual commercial plant. Section 6. Baseline economic evaluation. [Estimated for commercial plant]
The Commercial Plant capital requirement is estimated at $1,550,602,000. These costs are all expressed in year end-1977 dollars. The operating cost for the Commercial Plant is based on a 20 year plant design life, operating for 330 days per year (90.4% plant effectiveness) with an overall thermal efficiency of 62.4%. The total operating cost as defined, is $157,017,409 per year. The Commercial Plant gas cost is computed on the net present value analysis basis using the revenue requirement method. A discount rate of 9% is used in the calculation. The revenue requirement method determines the lowest gas selling price per MM Btu which will recover all costs incurred during the twenty-five year project life. The selling price in year end 1977 dollars is $4.597 per MM Btu. Various factors used in the calculation are given in some detail.
