Plan for Test Series A2. 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6348512
Test Series A2.2 constitutes the second half of Test Series A2, the second test series to be undertaken at the Grimethorpe PFBC Establishment as part of Phase A of the joint BCC/CEGB Program on PFBC. Test Series A2.2 will comprise at least 430 coal burning hours. All but approximately 100 of these will be funded by the US DOE (Department of Energy) who have entered into a Co-operative Agreement with BCC and CEGB. The remaining time will be funded jointly by US and UK governments as a Stage 5 of the IEA Grimethorpe PFBC Project. Experiments on an advanced HTHP filter funded by EPRI under a further Co-operative Agreement will be carried out. Coal and sorbent of US origin are both being provided by US DOE as part of the Co-operative Agreement. This report specifies the operating conditions for Test Series A2.2 and puts forward 15 objectives to be accomplished by 16 test conditions. At first, the coal and sorbent will be fed dry. The experiment will then proceed through combinations of wet and dry feed modes finishing with thick slurry feeds. Details are given of inspections, sampling and special measurements. Finally, contingency plans are proposed. 2 refs., 3 figs., 7 tabs.
