The 70 MWe Tidd PFBC Demonstration Plant in Brilliant, Ohio, the first PFBC demonstration Plant in North America, is in its third year of operation and testing. Operation of the Tidd Plant has provided invaluable experience with the systems required to apply PFBC technology to electric power generation. It has also provided operating data to verify the ability of the PFBC process to achieve a high degree of sulfur removal and low NO[sub x] emissions when burning high-sulfur bituminous coal. This paper provides an update on the operating experience of the Tidd PFBC Demonstration Plant, reviews the lessons teamed with PFBC technology in the start-up and debugging of the PFBC systems, and provides data from the operation and performance tests conducted at the Tidd Plant.
