Evaluation of Full-Scale Fabric Filters on Utility Boilers: PP and L Brunner Island Station Unit 1

摘要

The report gives results of two series of total mass and fractional size particulate emission tests at Pennsylvania Power and Light's Brunner Island Station Unit 1 on August 12-16, 1981, and September 2-4, 1982, as part of a program to evaluate and characterize the performance of full-scale fabric filter units installed on 100 MW or larger coal-fired power plants. For 2 years, beginning at start-up of the fabric filter, strip charts and daily operation and maintenance records were reviewed and key data recorded. A discussion of bag life and pressure drop problems and attempted solutions is included.
