Skinner, F D; Meserole, N P

The Great Plains Gasification Associates (GPGA) facility is the only operating plant in the world designed for commercial-scale production of substitute natural gas. The GPGA plant is intended to demonstrate that a clean high-Btu gas can be economically produced in a manner which does not adversely affect the environment, the health and safety of the workers or the general public. As the plant is in start-up, actual data and final-system configuration may not be available for some time. This document gives the currently available information and data on the GPGA plant with emphasis on environmental and health aspects. The presentation, which is the first in a series of documents, is arranged for ease of comparison of the plant configurations of and EHandS data from other coal-gasification plants that have been or are being studied.
