Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6434696
Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase which is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I has been the completion of the process design and the project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. A report of the design effort is being issued in 24 volumes. This is Volume 4 which reports the design of Plant Section 200 - Air Separation. Plant Section 200 is a vendor supplied package designed to produce 98% purity by volume of gaseous oxygen by cryogenic separation of air. The gaseous oxygen is compressed and spplied to Plant Section 300, Gasification. Gaseous nitrogen is used to supply the normal plant nitrogen requirements. The unit also contains facilities for liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen production and storage for emergency use.
