Evaluation of fluid bed methanation for making pipeline gas from coal. Topical report, January 1987-October 1987

OSTI ID:6177320
First-pass designs and cost estimates were prepared for two 125 billion Btu/day coal-to-pipeline-gas plants which utilize fluid-bed methanation: a plant to convert western subbituminous (Wyodak) coal to pipeline gas using KRW fluidized-bed gasifiers, and a plant to convert lignite to pipeline gas using Lurgi dry bottom gasifiers. The performances and economics of these plants were compared to similar plants utilizing fixed-bed methanation. The overall plant thermal efficiency of the fluid-bed methanation plants is higher than that of the fixed-bed plants. The higher capital and operating costs of the fluid-bed plants result in higher cost of gas than with fixed-bed plants.
