Southern Company Services, Inc. (SCS) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center (DOE/METC) to design, construct and operate the Hot Gas Cleanup Test Facility for Gasification and Pressurized Combustion. The purpose is to identify and evaluate potential hot particulate cleanup systems on a scale large enough so that these systems can be related to potential commercial system. This entails first developing the criteria for engineering-scale testing of hot particulate control devices which will lead to the design, construction and operation of a flexible test facility capable of operating under gasification and PFBC conditions. This will allow the testing of particulate control devices (PCDs) under realistic conditions in terms of gas composition, temperature, pressure, particulate loading and operating duration. The conceptual design of the Hot Gas Cleanup Test Facility Project was expanded to include additional modules to better address the scope of the Cooperative Agreement with the DOE/METC. The expanded test facility, referred to as the Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF), will provide a flexible test location in which the development of advanced power system components, the evaluation of advanced turbine and fuel cell configurations, and the integration and control issues of these systems. The facility is intended to provide direct support for upcoming DOE demonstrations of power generation technologies utilizing hot stream cleanup and will provide a resource for rigorous testing and performance assessment of hot stream cleanup devices now being developed with the support of DOE/METC.
