ABSTRACT:

A number of task assignments were completed under this contract. General categories of work performed included: Development of conceptual designs/economic evaluations, assessment of performance and potential for certain development programs, supply of construction support services, proposal reviews, presentation and publication of results, and general response items. Completion of this wide range of activities required the broad expertise provided by several hundred people over the course of the contract. As required, process engineers, project engineers, discipline engineers, environmental engineers, economists, and many other skills were applied. Of particular importance is the balance of technical and economic skills for prediction of constructed cost of large coal conversion plants; as a major international contractor who is daily buying major equipment items and installing them, realistic and current economic estimates were developed. The individual assignments are described briefly; completion reports have been transmitted; invited presentations and publications are listed; additional responses and recommendations to specific tasks are documented in letters.
