- Summary
- An evaluation of the Clean Coke program being developed by USS Engineers and Consultants, Inc., at the Monroeville, Pennsylvania, Research Laboratory of the United States Steel Corporation is presented. Included in the evaluation is an analysis of PDU performance to date and summaries of the results of earlier bench scale testing and supporting laboratory scale work. Also included is a review and critique of economic estimates developed in 1974 based upon a ''Preliminary Process Design Report'' developed August 1972. As of April 30, 1976, the PDU facilities are operated as segregated unit operations. The stages of development include consistent operation for the coal preparation, carbonization, and coke preparation units, preliminary operation of recycle oil hydrotreaters, and nil operation of the hydroliquefaction unit. Available results indicate that the program to develop adequate data for pilot plant design will extend beyond the target date of January 1, 1977. Preliminary economics indicate that the projected required selling price of coke produced by this process will be above historical and present market values. Recommendations are presented for techniques to improve the economics.
