OSTI ID:5630787

Under subcontract to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (APCI), Catalytic, Inc. (Catalytic) had the responsibility during this Phase Zero effort to carry out a preliminary process study and cost estimate for the 6000 TPD SRC-I Demonstration Plant. Catalytic's involvement was limited to two areas, as follows: Area 12 - SRC Process; and Area 13 - Deashing. In this study, SRC Deashing is accomplished by Filtration. A secondary study, in which the SRC Deashing is accomplished via the Kerr-McGee Critical Solvent Process, is presented in a separate report. Catalytic's scope in these areas included generating heat and material balances, developing process and control flow diagrams, sizing equipment, estimating utilities requirements, and preparing estimates of costs and schedule for completion through Phases I and II of the demonstration plant program. All of this information is presented to demonstrate the technical feasibility of producing solid SRC.
