Gasifier
sorbent which removes most of the sulfur from
the produced gas. A ceramic barrier filter
removes all but a trace of particulates. Because
the fuel gas is cleaned at high temperature, ther
mal inefficiencies associated with cold gas
cleanup are avoided. The cleaned coal gas is
burned in a gas turbine which produces about
60 percent of the plant power output. The rest of
the power is produced in a steam-turbine genera
tor operated on steam generated from gas tur
bine exhaust.
The gasifier vessel is expected to be ap
proximately 15 feet in diameter and 74 feet in
length, with a shipping weight of 1 70 tons. Desul
furization will be accomplished by a combination
of limestone fed to the gasifier and treatment of

The General Electric 6FA combustion turbine
selected is a scaled model of GE's 7FA machine.
The 6FA with its 2,350F firing temperature and
1,100F exhaust temperature enables SPPC to
use a 950F/950 psia steam cycle design. This
Improves overall plant cycle efficiency sig
nificantly.
Cost and Schedule
The project is currently scheduled to start up late
in 1996, and be in commercial operation by
early
1997. The total project cost is ap-
