Sheet: Instructions

Instructions
1. Please provide a process flow diagram (PFD) or block flow diagram (BFD) displaying the major unit operations included in the proposed process.
1a. Please include all feed and product streams for the proposed process.
1b. Please identify on the PFD/BFD the boundaries for (1) conversion, (2) stabilization, and (3) upgrading, as relevant to the proposed process.
2. Please provide a short description of the proposed process and the technologies employed within.  Include the main/critical operating parameters/conditions for the major unit operations.
3. Please identify the insertion point(s) for where the product fuel(s)/stream(s) are incorporated into conventional petroleum refining or infrastructure.
4. In the spreadsheet provided, please provide estimates for the key performance parameters expected for the proposed process.  Accompanying each performance metrics, please briefly describe the source or justification of the estimated value.  In the Basis/Justification field, please also specify if the performance value has been demonstrated or is a research/development target.  Topic Area 1 applicants need to complete the metrics highlighted in light blue at a minimum.  Topic Area 2 applicants need to provide estimates for all the metrics requested.
4a. For performance metrics that are not applicable to the proposed process, please indicate "N/A".
4b. For performance metrics that are applicable to the proposed process, but no estimate is currently available, please indicate "not available".
4c. For performance metrics that are relevant to the proposed process, but not included in the provided spreadsheet, please insert the appropriate metric and value in the appropriate section of the spreadsheet.
5. In the Overall Process Yields section, please estimate the yield for all the product streams made in the proposed process.  Please provide the yield estimates on a per dry-metric-tonne feedstock basis.  Please include all process streams that will/could serve as revenue to the proposed process.
5a. Please insert additional products/streams as necessary to accurately reflect the proposed process.
5b. Please estimate the overall gate-to-gate energy efficiency of the proposed process (Lower heating value basis).  Please include all products, byproducts, feeds, and co-feeds in the calculation.
6. In the Overall Usage Rates section, please provide an estimate for the amount of H2 imported/purchased in the proposed process (above that generated in the proposed process, if applicable).
6b. Please estimate the other chemicals costs (not including H2 or catalysts, listed separately) required to operate the proposed process.
6c. Please estimate the total power required to operate the proposed process (not including power generation).
6d. Additionally, please estimate the total power, natural gas, steam, and other utilities that would need to be purchased and imported to the proposed process (above generation in process).
6e. Please estimate the total water consumed in the proposed process.  Include process water, cooling water evaporation losses, boiler feed water makeup, etc.
7. In the Waste section, please estimate the waste water and solid waste expected from the proposed process.  Include assumptions for recycling or re-use in the Basis/Justification field.
8. In the Capital Costs section, please estimate the ultimate commercial capacity expected for the proposed process.
8a. If available, provide an estimate of the total capital investment for the proposed process at the specified commercial scale.  Please include the basis for the capital estimate, and an estimate for the uncertainty in the value provided.
8b. If available, please provide an estimate of the bare equipment and installed capital costs for the major unit operations.
9. In the Labor Costs section, if available please estimate the expected commercial plant staff or annual labor costs for the proposed process.
