Volume 2 describes, in concept, an SRC-II coal conversion facility which could be constructed during the 1990's. It also defines the basic elements of configuration, product slate, thermal efficiency and costs. The Conceptual Commercial Plant defined here is based on processing 33,500 tons per stream day of high sulfur Powhatan coal to produce not only the low-sulfur fuel oils and pipeline gas produced by the initial SRC-II facilities but also an aromatic naphtha stream and light hydrocarbon gases. The aromatic naphtha can be upgraded to produce a high octane blending stock and the light hydrocarbon gases can be upgraded to ethylene, a basic raw material for the petrochemical industry. This volume describes a grass-roots facility located on an unspecified site, since an exact location cannot be defined. Detailed descriptive information on the engineering design of the Conceptual Commercial Plant is provided. It includes process flow sheets, block diagrams and tabulated data on charge coal, products, operating conditions and equipment lists. Licensors' and manufacturers' names are used in this volume for the purpose of identification of the type of process, an item of equipment or as a source of information or material. It is not meant to imply that these are the only acceptable sources that will be available.
