Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant Program. Task III report, demonstration plant mechanical design. Volume I. Overall plant description
The United States Department of Energy awarded a contract to Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) which requires MLGW to perform process analysis, design, procurement, construction, testing, operation, and evaluation of a plant which will demonstrate the feasibility of converting high sulfur bituminous coal to industrial fuel gas with a heating value of 300 +- 30 Btu per standard cubic foot (SCF). The demonstration plant is to be based on the U-Gas process, with its product gas to be used in commercial applications in Memphis, Tennessee. In order to perform this work, MLGW has established an industrial team, which includes: MLGW - Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, Memphis, Tenn. (the prime contractor and distributor of the industrial fuel gas); FWEC - Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, Livingston, NJ (the engineer-construction manager); IGT - Institute of Gas Technology, Chicago, Illinois (the process developer); and DRC - Delta Refining Company, Memphis, Tenn. (to provide operating experience). The contract specifies that the work is to be conducted in three phases. Under Task III of Phase I a Mechanical Design and Cost Estimate for the Demonstration Plant was completed. The output of this Task, in addition to the cost estimate, is comprised of the following items: drawings/flowsheets, equipment list, procurement requisitions, instrumentation data, plot plans, and building sketches. This report in 12 volumes entitled Demonstration Plant Mechanical Design is intended to provide all engineering information necessary for the preliminary design of the plant. This report, which should be used in conjunction with the Task II report Demonstration Plant Process Design includes information on all plant units shown on Table 1. This is Volume I, Overall Plant Description.
