Beychok, M R

This study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency covers the production of SNG from LPG, naphtha, coal, or crude oil; LNG, including liquefaction at the source, regasification at market and importation from overseas; liquid methanol fuel; natural gas pipelines, including gas transmission pipeline costs, a comparison of 1972 pipeline capacity with the output of hypothetical SNG, LNG, and methanol plants, and environmental factors such as land disturbance along rights-of-way; production of liquid fuels from oil shale; and coal liquefaction. The environmental emissions and effluents from each technology are identified and quantified, with specific examples from actual designs. A brief description of the process technology involved is presented in each case. The data provided cover air emissions, water disposition, effluent treatment, thermal balances, noise factors, solid wastes, and some socioeconomic factors.
