Then we will develop what is referred to as a “SET” which ultimately includes four coal to liquid plants and one refinery to process the synthetic crude oil produced into the desired products. Each of the four plants will process two thousand tons of coal per day, with a total of eight thousand tons coal input per day. Total synthetic crude oil production will be thirty-two thousand (32,000) barrels per day, with plant production life of 30 years”.
