Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6495868
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 (Phase I). This Phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the completion of process design and the project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. This design effort has been completed. A report of the design effort is being issued in 24 volumes. This is Volume 2 which reports summary data on the overall plant. The Demonstration Plant is designed to produce 19 million standard cubic feet per day of pipeline quality gas from 1257 tons per day of Ohio No. 9 coal. By-products produced include sulfur, ammonia, oil, naphtha, and crude phenols. The gasifier requies 126 tons per day of limestone flux and 545 tons per day of oxygen. Approximately 438 gallons per minute of raw water is utilized by the Demonstration Plant. Approximately 402 tons per day of solid waste, including slag from the gasifier, will be disposed in landfills on the plant site.
