"This feasibility study falls in the category of underground coal gasification (UCG). The major cost components of UCG to produce medium Btu gas are the oxygen and steam used to feed the underground gasification process. The study will validate the commercial viability of a low cost oxygen/steam system of 600 tons/day that can be operated \with a variety of fuels and integrated into a number of underground coal gasification processes. This system will lower the cost of oxygen and steam by 40 to 50 percent in comparison to other technologies. This cost reduction of from $10.71 to $23.60/ton will reduce the cost of medium Btu gas by $.36 MBtu to $.79 MBtu from these processes. This system is a larger version of current units now being fielded by Alpha's team. The feasibility study will last for one year. At completion of the required study activities, at least one commercial partner will be obtained for using our system in conjunction with his underground coal gasification plant. The objectives of this study are to determine: (a) System economics at selected sites (b) Best financial arrangement for equipment deployment , i.e. sell, joint venture, or own and operate (c) Schedules for commercial deployment (d) Environmental impact per site (e) Process control signal interface (f) Best fuel mix for equipment (g) Current limits of shop fabrication and vender lead times (h) Maintenance and operator training requirements The methodology for the feasibility study will be as follows: (a) Develop operational scenarios and define all of the system interface requirements in a systems specification (b) Obtain from commercial process operators inputs that will be used for the oxygen and steam delivery pressures, oxygen/ steam ratios, and process control signals (c) Define system configuration"
