IEA Grimethorpe Pressurized Fluidized-Bed Test Facility outline test plan for Test Series Two

OSTI ID:6405489

The experimental programme at Grimethorpe has the broad objectives of : (1) investigating process variables with UK, US and FRG coals to produce data that will assist in the design of large commercial PFBC plant operating at high combustion efficiency and in an environmentally acceptable manner; and assessing the erosion/corrosion/fouling characteristics of the combustion gases (after cleaning in conventional cyclones) by passing them over cascades of stationary blades. The main objectives for the Test Series 2 are to: (1) gather combustor performance and dynamic response rate data for both full-load and part-load conditions with a range of coals and sorbents; (2) operate the cascade for as many hours as possible under cascade inlet conditions that will allow further data to be obtained on the erosive and corrosive propensities of the gas under the conditions of gas, alkali content and dust loadings that would prevail at the entry to a gas turbine; and obtain in-bed corrosion data for each coal and sorbent. Performance data to be obtained will include: (1) combustion and sulphur retention efficiencies; (2) elutriation and particle breakdown characteristics; (3) in-bed heat transfer rates; (4) cyclone collection efficiencies; and (5) NO/sub x/ and alkali emissions. The plan for performing Test Series 2 is presented. (LCL)
