SRC-II Demonstration Project. Phase zero, task number 1: deliverable number 1. Demonstration plant description
This volume presents the conceptual design for a 6700 ton per stream day (tpsd) demonstration-size SRC-II coal liquefaction plant. The plant has been designed as a fully integrated, grass roots facility with the capability of expansion to commercial size. This design approach is consistent with the objectives detailed for Phase Zero in Task 1 of Appendix A of Contract No. DE-AC05-780R03055 (Formerly Contract No. ET-78-C-01-3055) between The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. (P and M) and the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Primary engineering and design for the plant was prepared by Stearns-Roger Incorporated under the direction of The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. The primary product is a low sulfur distillate fuel oil, suitable for power plant use in areas with stringent sulfur regulations. The physical and chemical characteristics of this coal-derived oil are such that little or no modification is required to burn the product in existing utility boilers. Although the process has been designed to maximize the production of fuel oil, other valuable products are also produced. These additional major process products include: pipeline quality gas, liquefied propane gases, mixed butanes, naphtha, anhydrous ammonia, and sulfur. Special design studies have also been made to assess critical processes and equipment associated with a demonstration or commercial size coal liquefaction plant. These studies include completed reports concerning: reactor kinetics, reactor process dynamics of three-phase flows, gasification designs and systems, hydrogen purification processes and sulfur recovery, oxygen compression, dissolver slurry preheater, and critical equipment, instrumentation, and materials of construction.
