Epperly, W. R.

The Illinois Coal Market Flexibility Sensitivity Case will utilize partial oxidation of about one half of the vacuum pipestill bottoms for hydrogen generation and FLEXICOKING of the remaining bottoms to make low Btu gas for use as plant fuel. Partial oxidation replaces steam reforming of methane, ethane and propane used in the Illinois Base Case to generate hydrogen. The methane/ethane product released by elimination of steam reforming will be sold as high Btu gas. HBG will also serve as backup fuel for the onsite area. The offsite design will be developed in considerably less depth and detail than for the Illinois Base Case. Wherever possible, the Base Case design will be used to develop the offsite design for the Sensitivity Case. The offsite design effort will be concentrated on the fuel, steam, water and power systems and solid wastes transport facilities. There will be minimum design efforts (i.e., hold constant, prorate, or use judgement relative to the Base Case) on the remainder of the offsites.
