Title: Development and Commercialization of Hot Gas Filters for Power Generation Applications
Abstract: Westinghouse, with the Department of Energy (Morgantown Energy Technology Center), is developing hot gas particulate filters for application in advanced fossil energy power generation, i.e., pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) and coal gasification combined cycle (GCC). Westinghouse candle filter units are currently being operated in various coal based pilot plant and demonstration facilities (PFBC and GCC) to demonstrate their operating characteristics and performance and to identify potential commercial viability. Oxide and nonoxide filter materials, representing both first and second generation designs, are being tested and evaluated. In-house testing to characterize ash caking behavior is also being conducted in support of the field test programs. This paper summarizes this activity and presents current results of the field test programs.
