Estimate of cost to construct prototype anthracite culm combustion boiler/heater units. Final technical report

Technical Report · Tue Aug 15 04:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:5569392

This document reports the detailed findings by ICARUS Corporation of its independent estimate of the costs to construct steam-generation plants utilizing anthracite culm fired in fluidized-bed combustors. Analyses were performed of three responses to DOE's PON FE-9 made in August 1977 by (1) the City of Wilkes-Barre, (2) the Shamokin Area Industrial Corporation, and (3) Fluidyne Engineering Corporation. Source data contained in the responses were supplemented by discussions with key personnel of Pope, Evans and Robbins (Wilkes-Barre); Curtiss-Wright, Dorr-Oliver, Stone and Webster (Shamokin); and Fluidyne. This report is organized into two major sections. The first section summarizes the cost estimates and describes the ICARUS basis for contingencies, fees and escalation rates. The second section contains three subsections, each dealing separately with the findings for each bidder.
