Memphis demonstration plant program
Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) have a joint program to design, construct, and operate an industrial fuel gas demonstration plant in Memphis, Tennessee. The plant will use the Institute of Gas Technology's U-GAS Process to produce fuel gas equivalent to 50 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from 3200 tons of Western Kentucky coal. During Phase I of the program, main activities have been design of the plant, operation of the U-GAS pilot plant, the compilation of an environmental report and a definitive plant cost estimate. Phases II and III negotiations with DOE are being finalized. The total cost of Phases II and III is to be cost-shared by DOE and MLGW. The demonstration plant program's goal is to test the feasibility of a multiple-user coal gasification plant located in an urban area.
