SRC-II Demonstration Project. Phase zero, task number 3: deliverable number 8. Volume 1. Conceptual commercial plant: summary
This Deliverable describes a Conceptual Commercial Plant (CCP) using the SRC-II Solvent Refined Coal process for the production of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon synthetic fuels and by-products from coal. A CCP would charge about 33,500 tons of coal per stream day (tpsd) and be comparable to a 100,000 barrels per stream day (bpsd) petroleum refinery in energy output. The Conceptual Commercial Plant envisioned in this report would produce 56,000 bpsd of fuel oil and 51 million cubic feet per day (MM cfd) of pipeline gas. Other products would include an aromatic naphtha which when further processed would produce a high octane blending stock for gasoline, and light hydrocarbons which could be converted to ethylene (a basic petrochemical building block), providing the basis for a downstream petrochemical complex. The SRC-II plant described here is designed to protect the environment. Recognizing that the SRC-II feedstock is to be a high sulfur bituminous coal which is not suitable for direct firing under current EPA regulations without expensive sulfur removal equipment, this plant has been designed to remove the sulfur contaminant as a by-product. Disposition of other wastes will be accomplished economically in an environmentally acceptable manner. Volume 1 is a general summary of the information presented in the succeeding volumes and touches briefly on feedstocks, products, thermal efficiency, companion plants, future technology, environmental considerations, and projected capital and operating costs.
