Researchers at Brigham Young University (3 faculty, 9 graduate students, and 35 undergraduate students) completed this 5-year research program with the main objective to build and test a 100 kWth pressurized dry-feed oxy-coal combustor (POC). This objective was achieved through the development and testing of a unique pressurized dry coal fluidization feed system that operates in conjunction with a pressurized oxycoal combustor. The project included a series of R&D tasks, including design, modeling, bench-scale testing, construction, safety reviews, and reactor testing which are detailed in this report. BYU researchers were supported in some modeling tasks by project partners Reaction Engineering International (REI) and CPFD Software.
