Advanced hybrid particulate collector. Quarterly technical progress report, October 1--December 31, 1995, including progress through January 31, 1996

摘要

Technical progress through January includes completing of the Project Management Plan in November and presentation of the planned work at a project kickoff meeting held at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC) December 12. Initial discussions have been held with ALENTEC concerning their role in the project, which was covered in the management plan. The primary purpose of the meeting is to review the initial design of the advanced hybrid particulate collector (AHPC) and ALENTEC's initial modeling results to see whether changes or improvements are needed before the cold-flow tests are started. Initial design and construction drawings for the AHPC have been completed at the EERC for the 200-acfm working model. Several of the drawings are included as Appendix A in this report. In addition, larger-scale concept drawings were previously completed and presented at the project kickoff meeting at PETC. Several of these drawings are included as Appendix B of this report. The objective of the project is to develop a highly reliable AHPC that can provide >99.99% particulate collection efficiency for all particle sizes from 0.01 to 50 (micro)m, is applicable for use with all US coals, and is cost-competitive with existing technologies.
