Accession Number: 00377914
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Some of the past highlights of the Florida Gas Company's operations are noted and its study of the possible construction of a coal slurry pipeline is discussed. Utility companies in Georgia and Florida joined with Florida Gas in a study of alternate systems. A system that could deliver up to 55 million tons per year to the six utilities was developed. The operations of a coal slurry pipeline are reviewed. While the final configuration and size of the Florida Gas system is yet to be finalized, very favorable economics and proven technology for the system is known to exist. Problems associated with such a pipeline are discussed and include the following: right-of-way and permits; water supply and disposal; project timing; and project financing. The important issue of the environmental impact of coal slurry lines is also discussd.
