The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is sponsoring a comprehensive program to assess the impacts of coal quality on power plant performance. Combustion Engineering Inc. (C-E), under contract to EPRI, is investigating the combustion performance characteristics of coals of varying qualities in their combustion test facilities. Coals tested to date have included raw and cleaned coals from EPRI's Coal Quality Development Center (CQDC) in Homer City, Pennsylvania. In this study, bench and pilot-scale testing of an Illinois /number sign/6 steam coal and a lower sulfur/lower ash Illinois metallurgical coal was done to evaluate the impacts of improving coal quality on the performance of a utility unit derated due to slagging/fouling when burning the steam coal. 20 refs., 42 figs., 34 tabs.
