<br />. <br /> <br />e' <br /> <br />Th~nT.lal Power <br /> <br />Estimates of electrical demand were based upon 200 ~. of electrica~ <br /> <br />power required for each 5,000 BPD of oi~ shale capacity and 500 MW <br /> <br />for the coal gasification industry_ Assuming that the t';"nite River basin <br /> <br />~~u1d supply water sufficient for 750,000 BPD of oil shale capacity, <br /> <br />the total water demand from the t'1hite River basin for thermal power wouid <br /> <br />be 3,500 HI'1. At the rate of 20 1>J' per annum per mega"att of thermal <br /> <br />capacity, ~e annual water demand was determined to be ~O,OOO 1>J'. <br /> <br />Coal Gasification <br /> <br />In addition to the water demand of coal fired thermal e~ectrica1 plants <br /> <br />serving the coal gasification industry, a process water demand of 30,000 1>J' <br /> <br />per annu.'ll was assu."l\ed in setting up the base prob~em file. <br /> <br />A su.~uary of annua~ wat~r d~"l\ands for future development is show~ in Table I. <br /> <br />TABLE I <br /> <br />WATER DE~!ANDS FOR FUTURE' DEVELO?HENT <br /> <br />0,:274 <br /> <br />- 7 - <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />i-~\'~' <br />
