Several advanced, coal- and biomass-based combustion turbine power generation technologies are currently under development and demonstration. A key technology component in these power generation systems is the hot gas filter. These power generation technologies must utilize highly reliable and efficient hot gas filter systems to protect the turbine and to meet environmental constraints if their full thermal efficiency and cost potential is to be realized. Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation (SWPC) has developed a hot gas filter system to near-commercial status for large-scale power generation applications. This paper reviews recent progress made by SWPC in hot gas filter test development programs and in major demonstration programs. Two advanced hot gas filter concepts, the “Inverted Candle” and the “Sheet Filter”, having the potential for superior reliability are also described.

Several advanced, coal- and biomass-based combustion turbine power generation technologies using solid fuels (IGCC, PFBC, Topping-PFBC, HIPPS) are currently under development and demonstration. A key developing technology in these power generation systems is the hot gas filter. These power generation technologies must utilize highly reliable and efficient hot gas filter systems if their full thermal efficiency and cost potential is to be realized. This paper reviews the recent test and design progress made by Westinghouse in the development and demonstration of hot gas ceramic barrier filters toward the goal of reliability. The objective of this work is to develop and qualify, through analysis and testing, practical hot gas ceramic barrier filter systems that meet the performance and operational requirements for these applications.
