Phase I: the pipeline gas demonstration plant. Demonstration plant engineering and design. Volume 3. Plant Section 100 - Feedstock Preparation
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 has been the completion of the process design and the project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. A report of this design effort is being issued in 24 volumes. This is Volume 3 which reports the design of Plant Section 100 - Feedstock Preparation. Plant Section 100 consists of unloading, storage, and conveying facilities for the major feedstocks required to start up and operate the gasifiers in Plant Section 300. All these feedstocks will be purchased in the requisite size; so no crushing facilities are necessary and only limited screening of coal is provided. Plant Section 100 is designed to receive and store the following feedstocks: sized coal, flux (limestone, blast furnace slag), start-up fuel (anthracite coal), and petroleum coke. All feedstocks will be stored in silos and transferred in covered conveyors. A silo for coal fines is provided to store fines which may be present in the delivered coal and subsequently removed by screening. A dust collection/suppression system is provided for all silos and conveyors.
