These fully integrated plans comprise the Project Baseline and are the basis for all plant construction, operation, and other work set forth in the contract between ICRC and more » the DOE.

ICRC has made a massive commitment of time and expertise to design, plan and formulate policy, schedules, costs and technical drawings for all plant systems. International Coal Refining Company (ICRC), in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Kentucky has contracted with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to design, build and operate a first-of-its kind plant demonstrating the economic, environmental, socioeconomic and technical feasibility of direct coal liquefaction process known as SRC-I. All elements of the Project Baseline were developed within the constraints of the project criteria. The Baseline design is embodied in the 26 process design packages and other support documentation identified in the Baseline, as well as preliminary engineering flow diagrams prepared for all of the major process areas of the plant. The Baseline itself is made up of a documented design configuration, a documented estimate, in First Quarter Fiscal Year 1982 Dollars (1QFY82$), and a detailed schedule of the activities required to complete the project as of 3QFY82. Supporting documentation, in the main concerned with research activities undertaken in support of the design, is also available from NTIS as DOE/OR/03054-T1 through T10 and DOE/OR/03054-1 through 125. The Revised Baseline (dated April 1984) is available as document numbers DOE/OR/03054-T14 and T16. The original Baseline was more » issued in March 1982 this summary document is available from National Technical Information Service (NTIS) as document number DOE/ORO/030540-T13. The Project Baseline is an ICRC-documented reference for controlling any future project work and cost. No further activities to complete the design of the demonstration plant, or to proceed with construction are planned by DOE. The Revised Baseline, prepared by ICRC, provides the necessary information for any future government or commercial decisions relating to the design, construction and operation of an SRC-I-type coal liquefaction facility. ICRC issued a Revised Baseline for the SRC-I Demonstration Project in order to incorporate the results of these research activities and the changes in the design that had occurred since FY82. DOE formally accepted the Design Baseline under ICRC Release ECP 4-1001, at the Project Configuration Control Board meeting in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on 5 November 1981. for custody, according to past instructions from DOE, and is available for perusal by authorized DOE representatives. The sixth volume, containing proprietary information on Kerr-McGee's Critical Solvent Deashing System, was forwarded to BRHG Synthetic Fuels, Inc. The fifth volume, summarizing the Category A Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), was not submitted. The first four were submitted to DOE on 9 September 1981. The SRC Process Area Design Baseline consists more » of six volumes. Revision 6, dated 19 March 1982, 51 pages, was forwarded to DOE on 19 March 1982. 2 has been submitted to DOE and revised, as necessary, to be consistent with the SRC-I Project Baseline.

It sets forth: basic engineering data, e.g., type and size of plant, feedstocks, product specifications, and atmospheric emission and waste disposal limits utility conditions equipment design criteria and sparing philosophy and estimating criteria for economic considerations. The Process Design Criteria Specification forms the basis for process design for the 6000-TPSD SRC-I Demonstration Plant.
