4. <strong>Design</strong> Summary<br />

The DME design <strong>an</strong>d FTD design were designed based on equivalent feeds <strong>of</strong> coal <strong>an</strong>d<br />

black liquor. The coal <strong>an</strong>d black liquor were gasified to syngas at efficiency <strong>of</strong> 70.5%. The<br />

syngas is sent to <strong>the</strong> DME design <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> FTD design individually.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> DME design <strong>the</strong> cle<strong>an</strong> syngas is converted to DME product at <strong>an</strong> efficiency <strong>of</strong><br />

51.1%. The entire system efficiency <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> DME design was calculated to be 48.6%. The<br />

efficiency <strong>of</strong> cle<strong>an</strong> syngas to FTD <strong>an</strong>d naphtha was 48.5% The overall system efficiency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

FTD design from feed stock to FTD liquids was 52.6%<br />

The main efficiency loses from <strong>the</strong> coal <strong>an</strong>d black liquor gasification was due to ASU.<br />

The air separation unit, which creates oxygen <strong>for</strong> paper bleaching <strong>an</strong>d syngas processing, had <strong>an</strong><br />

energy loss <strong>of</strong> 55.7 MWe. Utility energy losses <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> DME design <strong>an</strong>d FTD design were<br />

included in <strong>the</strong> individual process efficiency. Table 35 gives <strong>the</strong> energy flow going in <strong>an</strong>d out <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> DME design <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> FTD design.<br />
