Technical support report: preliminary design and assessment of a 50,000-BPD coal-to-methanol-to-gasoline plant. [Proposed Grace C-M-G Plant, Baskett, Kentucky; technical support and vendor licenses]
The preliminary design and assessment of the W.R. Grace and Co. (Grace) Coal-to-Methanol-to-Gasoline Project was performed by The Ralph M. Parsons Company (Parsons) as a subcontractor to Grace under Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC01-80ET-14759 between Grace and the US Department of Energy. In the performance of this work, it was necessary to obtain technical support from other companies because of the need for data on proprietary processes or other specialized expertise. Grace, prior to award of the subcontract to Parsons, had selected Texaco Development Corporation to supply the basic data for the Coal Gasification and Waste Heat Recovery, Coal Grinding and Slurry Preparation and the Effluent Water Treatment Facilities. They also had selected Mobil Research and Development Corporation to provide a process design and engineering data package for the Methanol-to-Gasoline, Heavy Gasoline Treating and Mobil Wastewater Treatment Facilities. This report describes the technical support provided to Parsons from process licensors, equipment suppliers, and consultants for use in the preliminary design of the Gasoline Plant. Prime consideration was given to the selection of processes and equipment that have been proven commercially.
