Rossi, B; Estreich, P

This report is to describe a coal gasification/fuel cell/cogeneration (GFC) project that is specific to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (AAP) in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The project at this site, as with those at the three other sites selected for this program, is intended to demonstrate the technical, economic, and financing viability of power generation by fuel cells using gas from coal. The specific design described is based on a Westinghouse Corporation nominal 7.5-MW fuel cell with local anthracite coal fed to the gasifier. Mass and energy balances have been prepared for the gasification, gas processing, fuel cell, and thermal management systems using locally available anthracite design coal.
