Title: Results of the CES high-temperature, high-pressure electrostatic precipitator testing program at Curtiss-Wright. Final report
Abstract: This final report to the Department of Energy discusses the results of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) testing and evaluation at the Government furnished pressurized fluidized bed combustor (PFBC) test facility located at the Curtiss-Wright plant in New Jersey. A practical hot gas cleanup (HGCU) design for a 660 MWe PFBC plant is proposed and costs are estimated for the proposed commercial design. Though the concept and engineering feasibility of precipitators for PFBC has been established through the present work, the need for reliable applications data in actual PFBC environment remains foremost in developing the HGCU technology towards commercialization. Long term integrated operation of the PFBC system, including the precipitator and gas turbine is another necessity before the perception of high temperature (1600 to 1650/sup 0/F) PFBC cycle as a high risk technology can be mollified. 20 refs., 33 figs., 15 tabs.
