The TVA Ammonia from Coal Project consists of retrofitting a 200-ton/day coal gasification and gas purification facility on the front end of an existing small, modern natural gas-steam reforming ammonia plant located at the National Fertilizer Development Center, in Muscle Shoals, AL. The main objective is to provide technical and economic information to the US fertilizer industry for the substitution of coal for natural gas as a feedstock for producing ammonia. The coal gasification unit is based on the Texaco partial oxidation process. The total plant cost is estimated to be about $43.2 million, of which 10.1% of the cost (about $4.3 million) is for the wastewater plant. the TVA Ammonia from Coal Project contains developmental and first-time-out design features, therefore these costs should not be used to determine the costs of commercial plants. Data are presented on the design conditions for the facility.
