The Tidd PFBC Hot Gas Clean Up (HGCU) test facility, a $22-million project sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE), has accumulated over 4700 hours of coal fire operation between October 1992 and October 1994. The HGCU slip stream, which represents a 10 MWt system, utilizes a Westinghouse candle-based system to filter ash from one-seventh of the exhaust gas of the 70 MWe Tidd PFBC Demonstration Plant. This paper presents a description of the system, reviews the results of all test runs conducted during 1994, and discusses the lessons learned from this project which may be applicable in the design of commercial hot gas filtration systems.
