In August 1989 a cooperative agreement was signed between Ohio Power Company, through its agent the American Electric Power Service Corporation, and the United States Department of Energy to assess the readiness and economic viability of high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) particulate filter systems for pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) applications. Through this agreement, known as the PFBC Hot Gas Cleanup (HGCU) Program, an advanced HTHP particulate filtration system has been tested with one seventh of the flow from the Tidd 70-MW(e) PFBC Clean Coal Demonstration Plant. This paper describes the results from over 3000 hours of testing at the Tidd PFBC and the results from additional proof-of-concept testing. The proof-of-concept testing has been used to validate ceramic candle filter elements, for use in future testing at the Tidd plant. Testing at the Tidd plant has utilized a three-cluster filter system designed and built by the Westinghouse Science and Technology Center, incorporating 384, 1.5-meter long silicon carbide candle filters. This system is filtering approximately 7360 actual cubic feet per minute of PFBC exhaust gas. The proof-of-concept test, which has accumulated over 1700 hours of test time, is being conducted with the full flow from a 10 MW(th) circulating pressurized fluidized bed combustor.
