Production costs of auto gasoline and DHD feed from bituminous coal

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6889318
This report consists of three tables. The first table shows data concerning the 700 atm liquid phase and a production capacity of 146,000 tons/yr of gasoline and middle oil. The cost is shown in Reichsmarks per ton of gasoline and middle oil for individual areas such as: 1.73 tons of hydrogenation coal, with 10% water and 4% ash as being 40 RM, 1900 m/sup 3/ H/sub 2/ being 83.50 RM, catalysts and chemicals being 2.40 RM, power being 32.0 RM, and wages, materials, operating materials and laboratory costs as being 19.6 RM. The total of all areas listed was 211.60 RM/ton of gasoline and middle oil. The second table is for the 300 atm vapor phase showing RM/ton of auto gasoline and RM/ton 170/sup 0/-endpoint gasoline based on the gasoline being free of C/sub 4/. This is given for liquid phase gasoline and middle oil, hydrogen, liquid petroleum gasoline credit, hydrogenation gas credit, catalyst and chemicals, power, wages, repairs, fire protection and taxes, amortization, general, 3% interest, and 5% interest. The same information given in the second chart is also given in the third chart except it was for a 700 atm vapor phase operation. The 300 atm-process seemed to have slightly higher cost than the 700 atm process, partly because of using more hydrogen and more expensive catalyst. 3 tables
