FF 03 05 10 "Hot Gas Particulate Cleaning Technology Applied for PFBC/IGFC—The Ceramic Tube Filter (CTF) and Metal Filter—" by Hiroshi Sasatsu and Nobuhiro Misawa, Electric Power Development Co., Ltd., Kanagawa, Japan and Keiichi Kobori and Junichi Iritani, Electric Power Development Co., Ltd., Kitakyushu-shi, Japan. 14 p.

 EPDC has installed the Pall metal filter as a char filter for synthesis gas at a temperature of approximately 400°C, in the EAGLE (Coal Energy Application for Gas Liquid & Electricity) plant at Wakamatsu to establish the coal gasification technology for application for fuel cells (with coal feed 150 t/day pilot plant) aiming to implement the IGFC system. This paper describes the reliability of filter material, the improvement of seal mechanism, the pressure drop performance, the CTF process simulator and the optimization for pulse cleaning condition using the developed simulator for Ceramic Tube Filter (CTF) as PFBC hot gas cleaning device. Further, the EAGLE project including char filter system is briefly introduced.
