The objective of the Gas Stream Cleanup (GSC) Program is to develop contaminant control technology to separate out, or otherwise control, contaminants from the hot exhaust or fuel gases. The program's activity is mainly aimed at separating out contaminants at pressures greater than 5 atm and temperatures greater than 1,000/degree/F. These elevated pressures and temperatures are associated with seven emerging systems: pressurized fluidized-bed combustion (PFBC), integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC), gasification/molten-carbonate fuel-cell (MCFC), gasification/solid-oxide fuel-cell (SOFC), direct coal-fueled turbine (DCFT), coal-fueled diesel (CFD), and mild gasification (MG). The activities of GSC can be conveniently organized under the systems in which the contaminant control technology has been or plans to be implemented. Many of the activities are cross-cutting, since some systems have similar operating conditions, temperatures and pressures, and similar gas compositions. This makes GSC technology transferable from system to system. This Technology Status Report discusses each GSC activity in most detail under the system in which its development has proceeded most quickly. The potential for cross-cutting technology transfer is pointed out where appropriate. 20 refs., 21 figs., 5 tabs.
