Abstract

This Environmental Analysis of the proposed COALCON Clean Boiler Fuel Demonstration Plant is based on a Preliminary Engineering Design, Phase 1 of Contract E(49-18)1736 issued by the United States Energy Research and Development Administration. Only a detailed process design and preliminary plant design were authorized under this phase of the Contract. However, planning of environmentally sensitive areas was conducted in sufficient extent to define the ability of the plant to control effluents at acceptable levels. The preliminary design and the conclusions drawn therefrom are conservative and the refined plant design is expected to reduce the environmental impact of the project. Basic conclusions drawn from this report are not expected to change significantly during future design phases. The proposed plant site of the Coalcon Clean Boiler Fuel (CBF) Demonstration Plant, near the town of New Athens, Illinois (Population 2,000), is about thirty miles SE of the St. Louis Metropolitan area.
