Industrial Steam Supply System Characteristics Program. Phase II. Low- and Medium-Btu Gas-Fired Boilers with Associated Gasification Plants. Final Report

摘要

Conceptual plant designs, engineering characteristics, and operating requirements were developed for the following systems: on-site gasification associated with gas-fired boilers for low-Btu and medium-Btu gas production, and central gasification facility associated with gas product pipeline for low-Btu gas and medium-Btu gas production. For each of these systems, two coal sources were considered - an Eastern high-sulfur bituminous coal and a Western low-sulfur subbituminous coal. Thus, eight different systems were studied and conceptual cost estimates prepared for each of them. Scaling factors were developed over a range of plant sizes; cost ratios were prepared for multiple unit systems; and cost sensitivities vs degree of sulfur removal were developed for each of the on-site gasification systems.
