Abstract
The removal of tars and particulate materials from the effluent stream of a coal gasifier is of major importance in both a power generation sense and in an environmental sense. Gas cleanup systems represent a major cost item in powerplant design and their effective operation is crucial to the successful operation of coal gasifier powerplants. This is true whether the power generating unit is a fuel cell or one of the more conventional generators. The wet gas cleanup system presently under study by the Morgantown Energy Technology Center is an attractive approach to tar, particulate and sulfur removal. This report presents a preliminary analysis of four of the components used in the METC wet gas cleanup system. These components are: the humidification chamber, the disengagement changer, spray nozzles and final filter.
