Particulate characterization for PFBC filter systems
Southern Research Institute is participating, as a subcontractor to Southern Company Services (SCS), in METC`s project to establish a Power Systems Development Facility at Wilsonville, Alabama. This plant will serve as a facility for the development and testing of advanced systems for coal-based power generation. An important part of the program will be to test and evaluate various kinds of particulate control devices and systems for operation at high temperatures and high pressures. The hot gas cleanup technology is a critical factor in achieving the highest levels of energy efficiency in the advanced power systems. In connection with evaluation of particulate control devices to be installed at this facility, SRI has the responsibility for developing methods and equipment to characterize the particulate material suspended in the hot gas streams. Our objectives are to design systems for sampling and monitoring particulate mass loadings and size distributions at appropriate locations in the plant and to develop methods for operating these systems. We will assist SCS in the preparation of test plans for the operation of the plant, and we will participate in carrying out the particulate measurements.
