- Summary
- The US Army Engineer Division Huntsville (USAEDH) has reviewed, validated and updated a capital cost estimate of the ''Conceptual Commercial Design and Commerical Feasibility Evaluation for Clean Boiler Fuel Facility'', Report No. FE-1772-13 dated February 1976, as prepared by DRAVO Corporation, Pittsburgh, PA. This facility was designed to have a feed rate of 50,000 tons of coal per day and is expected to produce 58,000 barrels per day of heavy fuel oil, 21,000 barrels per day of light fuel oil, 122 million standard cubic feet per day of LPG fraction, 240 million standard cubic feed per day of pipeline gas, 170 tons per day of ammonia and 1100 tons per day of sulfur. Capital cost was estimated by DRAVO to be at 1.2 billion dollars based on last quarter 1975 dollars. Escalation and validation by USAEDH resulted in a fixed capital cost of $1.16 billion dollars for the facility. The overall accuracy factor of the DRAVO estimate was determined to be plus or minus 17%.
