COMMERCIAL-SCALE DEMONSTRATION OF THE LIQUID PHASE METHANOL (LPMEOH) PROCESS
2003Co-Authors: E.c. Heydorn, B.w. Diamond, R.d. LillyAbstract:This project, which was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Coal Technology Program to demonstrate the production of methanol from coal-derived synthesis gas (syngas), has completed the 69-month operating phase of the program. The purpose of this Final Report for the ''Commercial-Scale Demonstration of the Liquid Phase Methanol (LPMEOH{trademark}) Process'' is to provide the public with details on the performance and economics of the technology. The LPMEOH{trademark} Demonstration Project was a $213.7 million cooperative agreement between the DOE and Air Products Liquid Phase Conversion Company, L.P. (the Partnership). The DOE's cost share was $92,708,370 with the remaining funds coming from the Partnership. The LPMEOH{trademark} demonstration unit is located at the Eastman Chemical Company (Eastman) Chemicals-from-coal complex in Kingsport, Tennessee. The technology was the product of a cooperative development effort by Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (Air Products) and DOE in a program that started in 1981. Developed to enhance electric power generation using integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology, the LPMEOH{trademark} Process is ideally suited for directly processing gases produced by modern coal gasifiers. Originally tested at the Alternative Fuels Development Unit (AFDU), a small, DOE-owned process development facility in LaPorte, Texas, the technology provides several improvements essential for the economic coproduction of methanol and electricity directly from gasified coal. This liquid phase process suspends fine catalyst particles in an inert liquid, forming a slurry. The slurry dissipates the heat of the chemical reaction away from the catalyst surface, protecting the catalyst, and allowing the methanol synthesis reaction to proceed at higher rates. The LPMEOH{trademark} Demonstration Project accomplished the objectives set out in the Cooperative Agreement with DOE for this Clean Coal Technology project. Overall plant availability (defined as the percentage of time that the LPMEOH{trademark} demonstration unit was able to operate, with the exclusion of scheduled outages) was 97.5%, and the longest operating run without interruption of any kind was 94 days. Over 103.9 million gallons of methanol was produced; Eastman accepted all of the available methanol for use in the production of methyl acetate, and ultimately cellulose acetate and acetic acid.

Beyond O.D., Q.C.. P.M., STS, TQM, TQI., et.al.: Empowering Organizations to Redesign and Transform Themselves
1992Co-Authors: Kenneth L. Murrell, Martin ChristianAbstract:This panel will provide those in attendance a conceptual framework useful in guiding organizational change programs as sell as discuss he actual case situation of Eastman Chemicals and make reference to Scott Paper, Toyota, IBM and Rockwell Space Systems’ efforts to create more effective and empowering work environments The benefits in addition t o sharing the reports from the firing line will include the opportunity to look at numerous proposed improvement activities from the point of view of how well they fit, together and the sequencing necessary to best help an organization achieve its development goals. A strong argument will also be trade that as the organization develops its own ability (an empowerment culture) it will be better able to use the many different concepts and theories in creating a se1f managing environment dedicated to constant improvement.

Integrated Communications at America's Leading Total Quality Management Corporations.
Public Relations Review, 1996Co-Authors: Anders GronstedtAbstract:Abstract This study examines how to create organizational processes that allow communication professionals with a variety of expertise—e.g. media relations, employee communications, investor relations, and advertising—to support each other through coordination and integration. It is a multi-case study of eight of America's leading total quality management corporations: AT&T, Allen-Bradley, Eastman Chemicals, Federal Express, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Saturn, and Xerox. Because of their emphasis on systems thinking and interdepartmental integration, these companies offer an opportunity to examine innovative approaches to integration. The findings are based on face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 41 senior managers representing different communication disciplines at the eight companies. Transcripts of the interviews were analyzed with the “constant comparative method.” The study explores how various total quality management processes, such as teamwork, research, and documentation of processes, support integration among communication departments.
