The performance of conventional cyclones operating at temperatures up to 900/degree/C and pressures up to 900 kPa on flue gas from a pressurized fluidized bed coal combustion unit was measured. The cyclones were very efficient, generally removing particulates to a level of 0.04 to 0.07 g/m/sup 3/ at the exit of a three-stage cyclone system. Cyclone performance was measured using a total filter/Coulter Counter technique and a cascade impactor to measure the particulate size distribution. The two methods gave comparable results. This work is pertinent to coal combustion. 5 refs.
