A discussion covers a brief process description; typical yield responses to changes in liquefaction process variables; product flexibility achieved by liquefaction bottoms recycle or processing via the Flexicoking process and/or partial oxidation; potential product utilization schemes, including direct uses and various upgrading options; the EDS project schedule for 1977-83, including the expected startup of the 250 ton/day liquefaction pilot plant in May 1980 and a 70 ton/day Flexicoking prototype unit in Feb. 1982; and the results of a recent cost study which showed that an EDS plant incorporating Flexicoking and partial oxidation of the bottoms (without recycling) to convert 28,000 tons/day of Illinois No. 6 coal to 62,000 bbl/day fuel oil equivalent of product would involve an investment of $3.7 billion and a required initial selling price for the C/sub 3/ plus liquid product of $48/bbl, based on 100% equity financing.
