DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6173203· OSTI ID:6173203
The Agreement between the United States Government and the American Gas Association for the Joint Coal Gasification Pilot Plant Research Program contained provisions for one or more technical evaluation contractors. C.F. Braun and Co. was selected as the evaluation contractor to provide an overall evaluation of the relative merits of all programs covered by the Agreement. The function of technical evaluation as described in the joint program agreement is to provide in-depth evaluations and reviews of proposed projects, proposals for research project contracts, and work under research project contracts. The evaluation contractor acts as a technical extension of the sponsoring agencies to provide information for use in making decisions on the management of the program. Assistance to be provided to contractors is defined. The contract statement defines nine categories of work. A detailed review of accomplishment in each of these areas is covered in this report. Pilot plant operation, mechanical development, design, review, evaluation, and analysis; safety assurance analysis; process studies; guideline development; conceptual process designs, factored estimates; program status presentations; and conceptual commercial designs. Braun's efforts in carrying out this contract are reviewed with summarized results of about 100 sub-tanks reported previously. (LPN)
