The U.S. Department of Energy's Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) is developing, and supporting the commercialization of, integrated gasification combined cycle power generating systems. Certain designs for these advance systems rely on hot-gas desulfurization using regenerable metal oxide sorbents for improved efficiency and environmental control at lower costs. To further development of required technologies, personnel from the Research Triangle Institute (RTI), assisted by METC personnel, are conducting a series of slipstream tests at METC's fluidized bed gasifier. The objective is to demonstrate the operation of fluidized-bed desulfurization sorbents and the Direct Sulfur Recovery Process (DSRP) using actual, high-pressure, high-temperature coal gas.
