The primary objective of the present Phase 3 effort is to perform the final testing, at a 20 MMBtu/hr commercial scale, of an air cooled, slagging coal combustor for application to industrial steam boilers and power plants. The focus of the test effort is on combustor durability, automatic control of the combustor`s operation, and optimum environmental control of emissions inside the combustor. The primary effort is the first quarter of calendar year 1994 was devoted to the Task 5, Site Demonstration effort. The work consisted of disassembly of the combustor and auxiliary systems at the Williamsport test site, which was being closed by the site owner. All the equipment was removed and stored temporarily pending its relocation to the demonstration test site. Also in the first quarter, an extensive effort was implemented to locate a suitable site for the Task 5 combustor relocation. In addition, an intense effort was implemented to identify other industrial steam and power users in Southeast Pennsylvania as an alternate site. Another major focus was the design of the extension to the combustor and a new exit nozzle. These efforts are described in this report.
