Technology status of particulate removal from high-temperature high-pressure combustion gases

Journal Article · · Aerosol Sci. Technol.; (United States)
The adoption of coal-fired pressurized fluidized-bed combined-cycle combustion systems by utilities for electric power generation depends to a large extent on the development of an efficient and economic cleanup system between the combustor and gas turbine. To accomplish particulate removal from a dust-laden gas stream, a number of separation devices have been developed. These include conventional and augmented cyclones; porous metal, fabric, and ceramic membrane filters; fixed-, continuously moving-, and fluidized-bed granular filters; electrostatic precipitators; as well as several other novel separation devices. The results of tests of these devices are discussed in relation to pressurized fluidized-bed combustion applications.
