This report presents the status of the work performed on a program for the test and evaluation of hot gas cleanup devices for a pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) combined cycle system. The work was performed during the period June 1, 1982 through September 30, 1982. This is the fifth quarterly report since the start of the program. Work was completed which restored the pressurized fluidized bed (PFB) technology plant at Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, to an operational status. Preliminary designs to incorporate each of three advanced gas cleanup devices into the facility following a first stage low pressure drop inertial type separator were previously completed. The advanced devices are provided by suppliers under separate DOE contracts. They include a ceramic bag filter, an electrostatic precipitator and an electrostatically enhanced inertial separator. Testing of the ceramic bag filter system was completed in May 1982. This report presents the progress made in preparing the facility for the test of the electrostatic precipitator. 12 figures, 4 tables.
