Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5744259

The original Pressurized Fluidized Bed (PFB) Pilot plant contract, which included the Phase III construction of the plant, was superseded by a Cooperative Agreement on July 21, 1982. Construction activities were resumed after that date. The installation of the system for coal and dolomite receiving and storage, coal preparation, coal and dolomite injection, and ash removal, cooling and storage continued during the first annual reporting period under the Cooperative Agreement. The Control Building siding was installed and control and electrical equipment installation into this building proceeded. The in-bed heat exchanger tubes were assembled into the windbox and the assembly was installed into the PFB combustor. The hot gas cleanup devices were fabricated and installed. The process piping was fabricated and installation proceeded during this period. Installation of electrical wiring and instrumentation was initiated. The construction phase is over 90% complete. 36 figs., 3 tabs.
