Summary
Construction of the 1200 lb. of coal per hour process development unit (PDU) is essentially complete and operation under a comprehensive test program has begun. Laboratory studies are being continued to support the PDU design, the planning and calculation of tests, as well as to provide guidance for extrapolation to larger ratings. These studies are in the following areas: Cold model studies of fluidized beds to study bed circulation, jet penetration, solids separation, elutriation, and solids attrition; limestone sorbent behavior studies covering sulfur capture, sorbent regeneration and sorbent disposal; studies of devolatilization, char gasification, ash agglomeration and potential tar formation; turbine erosion-corrosion studies to determine the effects of entrained solids and alkali matrices on gas turbine blades, so as to derive realistic gas cleanliness specifications appropriate to modern gas turbines; gas cleaning tests to identify equipment for achieving cleanliness to these specifications; and combustion studies to determine combustor configurations required to efficiently burn the low heating value product gas produced by the gasifier.
