SRC-II Demonstration Project. Phase zero, task number 3: deliverable number 7. First commercial plant description and cost estimates
The SRC-II process is an advanced coal liquefaction process which is being developed to produce clean, nonpolluting liquid fuel from high sulfur bituminous coals. The goal of this development work is full commercialization. A step in the developmental process is operation of a Demonstration Plant which is described in detail in Demonstration Plant Description, Phase Zero Deliverable No. 1. This volume documents preliminary studies and costs for expanding that Demonstration Plant, which processes 6700 tons per stream day (tpsd) of coal, to a commercial size plant processing 33,500 tpsd. The design and cost estimates of the First Commercial Plant are predicated upon satisfactory operation of the Demonstration Plant wherein: the yield structure is demonstrated for large scale operation; operating problems are economically resolved; and adequate data are obtained or developed concurrently to confirm the scale-up economies used in developing the cost estimate. The philosophy used in developing the 26,800 tpsd expansion consisted of adding a train or multiple trains where needed in parallel with the Demonstration Plant. The size and number of trains are based on both the SRC-II technology and the equipment fabrication capability anticipated at the time of expansion. This volume describes the First Commercial Plant, presents the product slate, shows estimated utility requirements, and indicates thermal efficiency. Differences from the Demonstration Plant are reviewed, and operability and technical risk are discussed. Capital and operating costs are presented.
