The US Army Engineer Division, Huntsville (USAEDH) has reviewed, validated, and updated a capital cost estimate of the Power-Oil-Gas-Other Products (POGO) Commercial conceptual design, prepared by the Ralph M. Parsons Company. This facility was designed to have a feed rate of 43,200 tons of coal per day from a captive coal mine producing approximately 20 million tons per year for 20 years. The facility was designed to produce approximately 183 tons per day of ammonia, 1000 MW of electricity, 1710 tons per day of sulfur, 150 million standard cubic feet per day of synthetic natural gas, 15,000 barrels per day of liquified petroleum gas, 34,800 barrels per day of gasoline, 27,000 barrels per day of fuel oil, and 1625 tons per day of coke. Results of the USAEDH estimate showed a fixed capital cost of $2,072,633,270 which is less than the Parsons estimate of $2,376,610,000. (Both estimates are based on mid 1977 dollars). The overall confidence factor was determined to be plus or minus 12.8 percent.
