The U.S. Army Engineer Division, Huntsville (USAEDH) has reviewed, validated, and updated a capital cost estimate of the ''Commercial Complex Conceptual Design/Economic Analysis, Oil-Gas Plant.'' R and D Report No. 114. This facility was designed to have a feed rate of 36,000 tons per day of clean coal and produce about 56,000 barrels per day of fuel oil, 10,000 barrels per day of naptha, 10,000 barrels per day of liquefied petroleum gas, 165 million standard cubic feet a day of synthetic natural gas, 1,300 tons per day of sulfur, and 90 tons per day of anhydrous ammonia. Results of the USAEDH estimate showed a fixed capital cost of $1,183 million which is less than the Parsons estimate of 1,228 million (both estimates based on March 1976 dollars). The overall confidence factor was determined to be plus or minus 4 percent. Escalation of the USAEDH estimate to May 1976 resulted in a fixed capital cost of $1,217 million for the facility.
