Preliminary design and assessment of a 50,000-BPD coal-to-methanol-to-gasoline plant. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 April 1982-30 June 1982
The technical efforts associated with the Statement of Work for the preliminary design and assessment of a 50,000-BPD Coal-to-Methanol-to-Gasoline Plant continued at an accelerated rate. Physical accomplishment increased from 39.6% (March 1982) to 69.1% (June 1982). All contracts were in place prior to the commencement of this quarter and the only significant contractual action bearing on Statement of Work requirements was DOE's approval of a Grace request for modification of the Dames and Moore Subcontract to recognize certain additions and/or expansions resulting from the scoping meeting process. The narrative of this report discusses progress of work associated with technical activities for both the 50,000-BPD and 12,500-BPD plants. Significant progress in the process and mechanical design was achieved following the receipt of all design packages and data from vendors for incorporation in process design documentation. This information enabled the preparation of all process and utility flow diagrams, plot plans, evaluations, and associated direct capital cost estimates for the 50,000-BPD plant. The basic design of all process units comprising the Gasoline Plant was completed, and engineering efforts directed toward supplying inputs for the development of capital and operating cost estimates and economic assessments. Development of engineering documentation for the 12,500-BPD plant was initiated and progressed significantly during the quarter. Development of capital and operating cost estimates for the smaller plant was also active.
