ADVANCED COAL GASIFICATION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT NO.81 INTERIM REPORT NO.2 FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1973 - JUNE 30, 1974 VOLUMEⅠ

摘要

Coal gasification in conjunction with combined gas and steam turbine generation provides for the economic, efficient, non-polluting coal-fueled electric power plants that will be increasingly needed in the United States. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation is now developing such a system, utilizing a newly-devised multiple fluidized-bed gasification process (which employs coal, air, and steam for gasification and limestone/ dolomite for desulfurization). The U.S. Office of Coal Research and a Westinghouse-coordinated industrial team are sponsoring this effort. The final product of this effort is a commercial-size Generating Pilot Plant that will operate as part of an existing utility generating station. Significantly, it will provide technological verification and economic information for such a system in actual commercial operation.
