Construction and Operation of a Prototype RESOX Plant in Conjunction with Bergbau-Forschung FGD System. Final Report

摘要

This report describes work done on an EPRI sponsored program intended to evaluate a dry FGD system. The program combined an existing Bergbau-Forschung activated coke SO sub 2 regenerative adsorption plant with the Foster Wheeler RESOX process. This process reduces concentrated SO sub 2 from the adsorption plant regenerator to elemental sulfur using coal as a reactant. The front end adsorption plant operates with a 43MW slip stream from the Kellerman Power Station located in Luenen, Germany. The EPRI funded program designed, built and tested the RESOX system in conjunction with operation of the Bergbau-Forschung FGD plant. Throughout the report mechanical performance aspects of the program are emphasized. The RESOX system processed SO sub 2 rich gas for an accumulated total of 1000 hours. Experience gained during this operation is discussed. (ERA citation 07:056039)
