In support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Biomass Power Program, a Westinghouse Electric led team consisting of the Institute of Gas Technology, Gilbert/Commonwealth, and the Pacific International Center for High Technology Research, is conducting a 30-month research and development program to provide validation of hot gas cleanup technology with a pressurized fluidized bed, air-blown, biomass gasifier for operation of a combustion turbine. This paper discusses the gasification and hot gas cleanup processes, scope of work and approach, and the program’s status.

The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring a program of research and development on coal-fired heaters to provide heat input to the working fluid of a closed-cycle gas turbine/cogeneration system. One of the fired heater concepts being researched employs the atmospheric pressure fluidized bed coal combustion concept. This paper describes a research oriented atmospheric fluidized bed of 6- by 6-foot plan dimensions that has been designed and is being constructed for utilization during the R&D program. The design rationale is presented, details of the more significant details are described and discussed, and the planned methods for utilizing the 6- by 6-foot AFB as a research tool are presented.

The State of Hawaii's Ocean Science and Technology (HOST) Park, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the Pacific International Center for High Technology Research (PICHTR) sponsored the construction and installation of an expanded seawater supply system at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELH). This effort included the installation of a 1.0m diameter high density polyethylene pipe capable of delivering 840 1/s of cold seawater, representing the longest (2,060m) large diameter pipe traversing the steepest slope ever spanned. Acceptance testing of the system was completed in June 1988 and the design service life is 10 years.
