Hot-gas filter testing with a transport reactor development unit
- Univ. of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND (United States). Energy and Environmental Research Center
The objective of the hot-gas cleanup work on the transport reactor development unit (TRDU) located at the Energy and Environmental Research Center is to demonstrate acceptable performance of hot-gas filter elements in a pilot-scale system prior to long-term demonstration tests. The primary focus of the experimental effort in the 2-year project will be the testing of hot-gas filter elements as a function of particulate collection efficiency, filter pressure differential, filter cleanability, and durability during relatively short-term operation (100--200 hours). The selected hot-gas filter elements currently being tested include a Fibroplate{trademark} ceramic tube sheet and Fibrosic{trademark} candle filters from industrial Filter and Pump Mfg.; silicon carbide fiber ceramic candle filters from 3M; and metal and Vitropore ceramic candle filters from Pall Advanced Separation Systems. These elements will be used in three 200-hour filter tests under gasification conditions using the TRDU at filter temperatures of approximately 540 C at 9.3 bar and face velocities ranging from 1.4 to 3.8 cm/s. Changes in filter face velocity are achieved by removing six candles between each test. Results from the first 200-hour test are presented.
