Twelve techno-economic studies of coal-to-pipeline gas facilities were performed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of various processes. Realistic combinations of processes were investigated to quantify the overall efficiencies and economics. These studies address a variety of coal gasifiers as well as downstream processing concepts, including catalytic conversions and acid-gas removal. The report contains a summary of the results of each study, a comparison of the 1983 and 1986 FRI Guidelines, and a procedure for converting the levelized constant-dollar costs-of-gas based on one set of Guidelines to costs based on the other set of Guidelines.
