The U.S. Army Engineer Division, Huntsville (USAEDH) has reviewed, validated and updated a capital cost estimate of the COED coal conversion process prepared by R.M. Parsons Co. in 1975. This facility was designed to have a feed rate of 25000 TPD of clean coal and produce about 28000 bbl/day of synthetic crude oil and 830 mw of power. Results of the USAEDM estimate showed a fixed capital cost of $863.0 million which is 15.8 percent less than the Parsons estimate of $999.3 million (both estimates based on 1st quarter 1974 dollars). This difference is practically within the overall confidence limits of +- 15 percent estimated by USAEDH. Escalation of the USAEDH estimate to May 1976 resulted in a fixed capital cost of $1028.4 million for the facility.
