Development and testing of PRD-6 hot gas filters
The overall objective of this program is to develop and commercialize PRD-66 hot gas filters for application in pressurized fluidized bed combustors (PFBC) and Integrated Gas Combined Cycle (IGCC) power generation systems. The work is being carried out in phases with the following specific objectives: Demonstrate acceptable mechanical, chemical, and filtration properties in exposure tests; produce and qualify selected prototype design filter elements in high temperature high pressure (HTHP) simulated PFBC exposure tests; and (Option) generate a manufacturing plan to support commercial scale-up. The project is being carried out in five tasks, two of which have been completed and the third is underway. Task 1 provided the management plan and the necessary NEPA information for the project. In Task 2, the test plan was written. Laboratory work began in Task 3, which consists of three subtasks. In Subtask 3.1, attempts at design improvements of the baseline candle filter were made. Also in Subtask 3.1, mechanical property tests suitable for monitoring progress toward stronger filters, and ultimately for process control, were surveyed. After choosing the best test, mechanical properties of the baseline filter would be obtained.
