This ICGG Demonstration Plant Process Design Report (DPPD) defines the final Demonstration Plant Process Design Baseline. It describes a completely integrated, single train, grass roots facility capable of processing a blend of Illinois No. 5 and 6 Seam coal into synthetic pipeline gas, plus fuel oil and naphtha byproducts. The size, approximately one quarter of the Commercial Plant train, is sufficiently large to demonstrate the commercial viability of the process and minimize scale up risks. (Design modifications have also been incorporated to process Pittsburgh No. 8 seam and Western subbituminous coals in the same facility. The ICGG Demonstration Plant utilizes the COGAS Process for converting coal into gas and oil products. The process design, together with supporting analyses and studies, have confirmed that: the COGAS Process is ready for demonstration since a comprehensive data base exists; the technical risk is inherently low and there is a high probability of operating feasibility; it has been possible to make extensive use of commercially proven process technology and commercially available components; the integration of multiple processes is technically feasible and results in a high thermal yield (individual process areas are simple, well understood, controllable, and adaptable to various coals); the process is safe, environmentally acceptable and reliable; and the plant is inherently flexible. (Design changes required to process the various coal types have been identified and are achievable).
