Preliminary design and assessment of a 50,000-bpd coal-to-methanol-to-gasoline plant. Annual report, 1 October 1981-30 September 1982
This report covers technical activities performed under Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC01-80ET-14759 (CA) between W. R. Grace and Co. and the US Department of Energy (DOE) during the period October 1, 1981 through September 30, 1982. The CA Statement of Work (SOW), which is comprised of eleven tasks, requires the preliminary design and assessment of a 50,000-bpd coal-to-methanol-to-gasoline plant, and capital and operating cost estimates with technical support backup for a 12,500-bpd plant. The efforts documented in this report are a continuance of those activities discussed in the previous annual report for fiscal year 1981 submitted to DOE in October 1981. As of this writing the project is 96% complete, with documentation supporting the process and mechanical design, capital and operating cost estimates, construction, operations and staffing plans having been finalized and submitted to DOE. A total of thirty-five (35) of thirty-nine (39) nonperiodic deliverables required by the SOW have been completed. Principal remaining work is in finalization of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and economic assessments for both plants. The report discusses contractual revisions to the CA SOW, accomplishments versus objectives for each of the eleven tasks comprising the SOW, and the status of deliverable submissions.
