Title: Pilot process variable study of coolside desulfurization
Abstract: Abstract The Coolside desulfurization process is a dry sorbent injection technology developed for retrofit SO 2 control in coal‐fired utility power stations. The process is low in capital and space requirements since, in its ideal configuration, the existing ductwork and particulate collector are used as the SO 2 ‐sorbent reaction spaces. It has been developed through laboratory and 1 MW‐scale field tests using hydrated lime as the primary process sorbent by Consolidation Coal Company (Consol). The field work showed promising results with observed SO 2 removal ranging up to 80%. In order to optimize the process performance through improved understanding of the process fundamentals, Consol constructed and is operating a 0.15 MW pilot test unit. This paper describes the results of a process variable test program, a first series of tests made in the pilot unit, and the unit operability observed during the test work.
