Wow, look at the difference in production now with Emery' process as opposed to the previous one..........HUGE:
Using the pyrolysis offered by Pyrolyzer, a facility processing 148 tons of coal per day would produce approximately 200 barrels of diesel fuel and 74 tons of metallurgical coke per day and cost approximately $80,000,000. The metallurgical coke market is quite unstable and the quality of that product was unknown and dependent upon the individual facility feedstock. The handling of metallurgical coke would have increased facility particulate emissions, perhaps impacting the permitting process.
Using the bubbling fluidized bed gasification process offered by Emery, a facility processing 300 tons of coal per day would produce approximately 525 barrels of liquid fuel per day (approximately 50% diesel fuel and 50% jet fuel) and cost approximately $120,000,000. In addition to the increased fuel output, the market for the jet fuel is expected t be far more stable than the market for metallurgical coke and the particulate issues associated with handling metallurgical coke are eliminated.
