Operating costs are computed for 4 different types of plants and are broken down for each item of operating expense. I. Water-gas plant -- 1,440,000 m.3 water gas per day. Coke at 20 RM per ton: CO+H2, 2.075 pf. per m.3 Coke at 17.50 RM per ton: Water gas 1.635 pf per m.3 II. Gasification of coal fines -- 1,440,000 m.3 water gas per day. Coal at 14 RM per ton and O2 at 0.025 RM per m.3 Water gas, 1.045 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.69 pf. per m.3 III. Reforming of coke-oven gas -- 356,000 m.3 reformed gas per day. Gas at 0.017 RM per m.3: Reformed gas, 1.69 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.98 pf. per m.3 Gas at 0.013 RM per m.3 Reformed gas 1.375 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 2.035 pf. per m.3 A. 65% water gas +35% reformed gas. Coke at 20 RM per ton and coke-oven gas at 0.017 RM per m.3: Synthesis gas, 1.769 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.775 pf. per m.3 B. 70% water gas from powdered bituminous coal+30% reformed gas. Coke-oven gas at 0.017 RM per m.3: Synthesis gas 1.487 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.770 pf. per m.3 Coke-oven gas at 0.013 RM per m.3: Synthesis gas, 1.392 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.660 pf. per m.3 IV. Gasification of powdered coal -- direct production of synthesis gas CO:H2=1.2--1,440,000 m.3 per day, coal at 14 RM per ton and O2 at 0.025, RM per m.3: Synthesis gas 1.37 pf. per m.3 CO+H2, 1.69 pf. per m.3 |
