Abstract

The moving bed granular is being developed under the auspices of the US Dept. of Energy. Recent activity focused on three areas: the development of chemically reactive filter media for the removal of alkali and particulate from high temperature, high pressure coal gas streams; cold flow tests of filter components; and the design and fabrication of a filter for testing at DOE`s Power Systems Development Facility. Screening test of clay sorbents for alkali and selected trace metals have identified the most promising sorbents. Extrusion and disk pelletization are used to produce sorbent pellets. Results on pellet strength and reactivity are presented. Cold flow tests addressed filter scale-up issues of gas distribution, filter medium flow and filter medium size. Results from the cold flow tests have been incorporated in the design of the filter to be test at the Power System Development Test Facility.
