As an example of this technique, the estimated equipment costs for a large coal gasification project have been correlated and programmed for a computer. Thus, it is vei7 easy to get the cost of any one piece, or of many pieces of equipment, for a coal gasification or hydrocarbon processing project once the specification sheets are completed. 

This section discusses some of the items considered in the start-up costs for a coal gasification project, along with the methods of estimating each item.

Based on a survey reported for 2003, there are 163 commercial gasification projects worldwide consisting of a total of 468 gasifiers.4 More than 120 plants began their operations between 1960 and 2000 with the majority (more than 72 plants) commissioned after 1980. Up to 34 new plants are at various stages of planning and construction. 

European refinery gasification projects include the API project in Falconara, Italy Sarlux project in Sardinia, Italy ISAB project in Sicily, Italy and Shell project in Pemis, Netherlands. Several plants are also reported to gasify biomass to produce gaseous fuels or electric power.

Since 1984, the Vermont Biomass Gasification Project has supplied more than 50 MW of electricity to the Burlington, Vermont, area. The electricity is generated by gas turbines powered by the combustion of a gaseous fuel mixture created as wood chips ate mixed with very hot sand (1000°C).

On November 8, 1978, it was reported in the Wall Street Journal that "The only active commercial coal gasification project has been halted by American Natural Resources Co. and four gas-pipeline concerns. The suspension of design and engineering work on the 1.4 billion project in North Dakota followed the failure of attempts to settle a controversy over the method of financing the project which had delayed federal approval required before work could proceed."...

Texas City Gasification Project Texaco Gasifier — This gasification facility uses a GE gasifier and began operation in June 1996. It markets H2 and supplies CO as a feedstock to a chemical company that uses it to manufacture chemicals such as acetic acid and special alcohols. The carbon source is natural gas, which is preheated before entry in the gasifier. Gasification...

A proposed New Mexico coal gasification project is predicted to produce about 573,000 Ib/hr of wet ash from one unit. It would form a pile 231 ft at the base, 100 ft high, and almost 7 mi long in 1 year Based on these estimates, what was the density used for the ash in pounds per cubic foot ...
