Engineer, design, construct, test and evaluate a pressurized fluidized-bed pilot plant using high-sulfur coal for production of electric power: Phase I, preliminary engineering, Phase II, final design. Annual report, March 1, 1978-February 28, 1979

OSTI ID:5987569
During this period the steam-gas turbine/pressurized fluidized bed (SGT/PFB) Technology Unit was operated for an additional 800 h on high sulfur coal during which the complete range of pilot plant operating parameters was covered. Data on bed-side heat transfer, bed operation, heat exchanger materials characteristics and hot gas cleanup performance were obtained. Following the initial shakedown period the PFB combustor performed at near design conditions for the 800 h of testing. The cumulative coal operating time on the rig is 894 h. Coal combustion was initiated at bed temperatures of 850 to 900/sup 0/F although startup at 1100 to 1200/sup 0/F was the normal procedure. Start-up with a full height deep bed was demonstrated which precluded the need for bed material removal prior to start-up as other investigators have found. Temperature distribution over the full bed height during design point and off-design operation was uniform and there was no indication of freeboard combustion.
