This report discusses the status of work being conducted under EPRI contract 1336-1 on the evaluation and development of hot gas cleanup technology for pressurized, fluidized-bed combustion (PFBC). The testing and analysis of two different types of high performance, rigid filters - a porous, sintered-metal tube and a porous ceramic candle device - are summarized. In addition, the continued testing and evaluation of the woven-ceramic bag filter concept is discussed. All test work has been conducted on the modified, high-temperature, high-pressure subscale (HTHP) test facility described. Work is also reported on the testing and evaluation of advanced diagnostic instruments that could be used in the assessment of hot gas filter module performance and operation. One device is a commercially available, multiparticle optical analyzer for on-line measurement of particle size distribution and loadings. A second instrument, a capacitive transducer, is being developed to measure directly the deposition and removal of dust cake on the filter surface. The work period covered in this report is calendar year 1982.
