DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7258073· OSTI ID:7258073
Sintered metal filters have been used for off-gas particulate removal on a pilot-scale fluidized bed calciner and spray calciner. The units calcined simulated commercial HLW at rates equivalent to 1 to 3 MTU/day fuel reprocessed. Filters were cleaned by a periodic pulse of air in a reverse direction through the filters. Filter systems design and recommended operating parameters are described.
