The objective of this program is to evaluate the design and obtain operating experience for up to two advanced particle filter (APF) systems through long-term testing on a slip stream at Ohio Power Company's Tidd PFBC Demonstration Plant. Performance and reliability of commercial-scale filter modules will be monitored to aid in an assessment of the readiness and economic viability of this technology for commercial PFBC applications. The engineering, and design of the hot gas piping systems modifications were completed during the summer of 1992, and in September, 1992 reassembly of the pipe sections began at Tidd. The HGCU system will be commissioned with the APF in October, 1992. Present plans are to operate the APF system throughout the rest of the Tidd three-year test program which is scheduled to end in February, 1994.
