Summary

The requirements of our ERDA Contract provide for an independent study and experimentation program, the objective of which is to assess the potential problem of filter inlet screen deposition from particle laden gas streams and to assess various mechanical concepts designed to remove or inhibit such accumulations. Data thus acquired may influence the design of the granular filter to prevent ash accumulation on the inlet screen or to provide for the removal of deposits during filter operation. This report describes earlier experiments sponsored by EPA in which various screen configurations were tested on a special cold-flow test rig resulting in an inlet screen selection which provided controlled media spillage rates to inhibit the accumulation of ash. The ERDA tests have carried this experimentation one step further by developing and evaluating three types of deposit removal devices.
