This report covers the Onsite Design Basis for the Wyoming Coal Case of the EDS Commercial Plant Study Design Update. The Wyoming Coal Case will utilize partial oxidation of about one half of the vacuum pipestill bottoms for hydrogen generation and FLEXICOKING of the remaining bottoms to make low Btu gas (LBG) for use as plant fuel. This configuration is essentially the same as used in the Illinois Coal Market Flexibility Sensitivity Case. The methane/ethane product will be sold as high Btu gas (HBG). HBG will also serve as backup fuel for the onsite area. The Wyoming Coal Case is being developed as a sensitivity to locating a commercial EDS plant in a northeast Wyoming location. The report is to serve two purposes. First to present the design bases for the study, (i.e., feed rate, product yields, configuration, etc). Second, to summarize and reference the laboratory and engineering studies carried out in setting the design bases. These studies cover the development of the liquefaction operating conditions and the configuration of process units within the EDS plant.
