The EPRI Pulse-Jet Technology Workshop held in Atlanta, Georgia on May 19--20, 1988 assessed the potential of pulse jets for utility applications, discussed key unresolved issues, and identified important development activities. Forty-two representatives from fiber, fabric, bag and baghouse vendors, research groups, consultants and six utilities attended. The workshop was divided into three sessions. The first session consisted of presentations summarizing: (1) the state-of-the-art in pulse-jet baghouse technology; (2) pulse-jet user experience; and (3) the technical economic feasibility of using pulse jets. In the second session, a panel representing different segments of this technology discussed the key issues in adapting pulse-jet baghouses to US utility applications. The final session contained reports to the workshop attendees from each of the four working groups formed to discuss: (1) general pulse-jet baghouse design considerations; (2) filter fabric design, testing, characterization and failure analysis; (3) pilot facility test design and testing requirements; and (4) technical/economic feasibility and critical issues in the application of pulse jets. In the opinion of the workshop participants, initial applications would probably be retrofits into the casing of existing electrostatic precipitators (ESP) or at stations with retrofit AFBC or dry/semi-dry SO/sub 2/ control processes. 18 figs., 18 tabs.
