Work performed from March 1, 1976 to February 28, 1977 to Engineer and Design a Pressurized, Fluidized Bed Pilot Plant using high sulfur coal for production of electric power is summarized. A conceptual design of a 500 MW commercial power plant is described. Plant efficiencies of 40% are projected. The preliminary performance and design arrangement of the PFB Pilot Plant are presented, with comparisons tabulated between the latter and the commercial plant. Also described are supporting technological test programs and results, covering heat exchanger performance and corrosion/erosion resistance of candidate materials for heat exchanger and turbine application. Design was completed and construction begun for the Small Gas Turbine/Pressurized Fluidized Bed (SGT/PFB) operating parameters rig which fully simulates the pilot plant operating environment. Fabrication of heat exchanger tubes, and SGT/PFB components is described.
