The Wyoming Coal Case is being developed as a sensitivity to locating a commercial EDS plant in a northeast Wyoming location using the once-through liquefaction mode. Operating conditions in liquefaction are 840/sup 0/F, 60 minutes nominal residence time at a solvent-to-coal ratio of 1.6/1. The Wyoming Coal Case of the SDU utilizes partial oxidation of about one half of the vacuum pipestill bottoms for hydrogen generation and FLEXICOKING of the remaining bottoms to make low Btu gas (LBG) for use as plant fuel. This configuration is essentially the same as used in the Illinois Coal Market Flexibility Sensitivity Case. The methane/ethane product will be sold as high Btu gas (HBG). HBG will also serve as backup fuel for the onsite area. The quality of the offsite design is to be equivalent to a screening quality study design. Wherever possible, the previous study designs are to be used to develop the offsite design for the Wyoming Coal Case. The offsite design effort will be concentrated on the water, fuel, steam and power systems and the wastewater treating facilities, and product shipping facilities. There will be minimum efforts (i.e., hold constant, prorate, or use judgment relative to the Illinois cases) on the remainder of the offsites.
