ERDA has awarded the Curtiss-Wright Corp. a $27.5-million contract to design, build, and operate a non-polluting 13 MW pilot electric generating plant which will fire high sulfur coal in a fluidized bed and will be capable of powering both steam and gas turbines for combined-cycle operation. The contract, process, site, protection of the turbine blades, and the long range goal of developing a design for a 500 MW commercial plant with a combined-cycle thermal efficiency of 40 percent are discussed.
