The team of Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI®), ITEA, Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI), and General Electric Global Research (GE) is advancing Flameless Pressurized Oxy-combustion (FPO), a novel coal technology. This effort seeks to develop a particle separator for the hot-gas stream leaving the FPO loop. In order to maximize the energy extracted from the cycle, the hot gas is put through a turbo-expander before flue-gas treatment. The particle separator designed under this project sought to operate at high temperature and with low-pressure drop, protecting the turbo-expander from erosion damage. The team engaged potential vendors for the test, developed plans for the pilot test loop modification, and refined requirements for the commercial turbo-expander.
