Skinner, F D; Meserole, N P

The Cool Water Coal Gasification Program (CWCGP) facility is the first domestic operation of integrated gasification combined cycle on a commercial scale. The primary objective is to demonstrate that IGCC is an economically and technically feasible means of generating electricity from coal in an environmentally acceptable manner. The plant started up in May 1984, has completed its commissioning phase, and is now in its long-term demonstration phase. A comprehensive compliance and supplemental environmental monitoring program is being carried out, but few results have been released to date. The document presents the currently available information and data on the CWCGP plant with emphasis on health and environmental aspects. The presentation, which is the second in a series of documents, is arranged for ease of comparison of the plant configurations and EH and S data from other coal gasification plants which have been or are being studied.
