Tri-State Synfuels Project Review: Volume 2. Engineering and process summary. [Proposed Henderson, Kentucky coal to gasoline plant]
The purpose of this report is to document and summarize activities associated with engineering and process design efforts on the Tri-State Synfuels Project. The proposed facility was to be a coal-to-transport fuels facility located in Henderson, Kentucky. Tri-State Synfuels Company was participating in the project as a partner of the US Department of Energy per terms of a Cooperative Agreement resulting from DOE's synfuels' program solicitation. Fluor's initial work plan called for preliminary engineering and procurement services to the point of commitment for construction for a Sasol Fischer-Tropsch plant. Overall project schedule was estimated at 24 months with an estimated value of approximately $27 MM. During the course of the project, the plant design was changed, and at the time of project suspension was based on a reduced size facility to produce MTG gasoline. Included in this volume are discussions describing the overall history of the project, its definition, evolution, and major issues addressed during its execution.
