Estimate of cost of plant producing 125,000 t/ann. DHD feed for 100,000 t/ann. high performance gasoline from bituminous coal, at Ludwigshafen-Oppau (in German)
The first table was a summary showing the costs in Reichsmarks as follows: (1) hydrogen production--RM 20,700,000; (2) hydrogenation proper--RM 40,000,000; (3) hygas cleaning--RM 1,400,000; (4) power production RM 7,000,000; (5) power distribution--RM 4,000,000; (6) auxiliary plants--RM 11,000,000; and (7) miscellaneous--5,500,000 RM. The total cost was given as RM 90,000,000. A table showing the cost of hydrogen production broken down into smaller units showed the water gas plant for 50,000 m/sup 3//hr of hydrogen at RM 6,500,000 as the major cost, followed closely by compression to 325 atm at RM 5,000,000. Catalytic hydrogen production at RM 2,300,000 and CO/sub 2/ cleaning at RM 2,000,000 were also major factors in the cost. The major cost for hydrogenation proper was the liquid phase costing RM 25,300,000, with the vapor phase costing RM 9,900,000 for 300 atm processing or RM 12,200,000 for 700 atm processing. In the liquid phase, two four-stage coal stalls cost RM 10,000,000, while the paste press division, coal preparation division, and circulating gas wash cost RM 2,400,000, RM 2,300,000, and RM 2,000,000 respectively. In the vapor phase, four stalls would cost RM 5,400,000 for 300 atm or RM 7,300,000 for 700 atm. Hydrogenation gas cleaning showed the Claus Plant, which appeared to be oxygen-burning, as the main cost at RM 600,000. The major cost of power production was shown by the expansion of the power plant by one boiler and one turbine with a cost of RM 5,000,000. The main cost for power distribution was electric power lines which cost RM 2,000,000. The major costs for auxiliary plants were in construction and the miscellaneous heading included such things as catalysts, design, and construction.
