Proof-of-concept testing of fluidized-bed copper oxide process
The objective of Phase IV of the contract is to design a conceptual flue gas treating unit based on the fluidized-bed copper oxide (FBCO) process for a new coal-fired 500 MW(e) power plant. A technical and economic evaluation of the FBCO process that is based on the conceptual design will also be completed. The scope of the work during this reporting period was limited to Task 4.0, Proposal review and negotiations, and Task 4.1, Definition of design basis. In the revised Statement of Work (SO/At) for Phase IV, a cold-circulation dense-phase testing of the sorbent material is proposed. Presently, UOP does not manufacture the sorbents, SOX-3 and SOX-4, that were used in the life-cycle testing of the fluidized-bed copper oxide unit at PETC. So as an alternative to the sorbent, UOP proposed that the alumina support be used In the cold-circulation tests. Under Task 4.1, the feasibility of using the support material was evaluated in a series of attrition tests conducted on the SOX-3 sorbent and the alumina support. The testing took place during this reporting period. The objective of these tests was to examine the relative strength of the two materials.
