Abstract
The report describes the second phase of studies on the CAFB process for desulfurizing gasification of heavy fuel oil in a bed of hot lime. The first continuous pilot plant test with U.S. limestone BCR 1691 experienced local stone sintering and severe production of sticky dust during startup. Batch tests confirmed that BCR 1691 produced more dust than the purer Denbighshire or U.S. BCR 1359 stones. With BCR 1691, 10 times more dust was produced during kerosene combustion at 870C than during gasification/regeneration. The continuous pilot plant was modified to improve operability under dusty conditions: 332 gasification hours were spent in a second run with Denbighshire and BCR 1691 stones in six operating periods, the longest being 109 hours. Sulfur removal efficiency was comparable for the two stones, ranging from 60 to 95%. Regenerator performance was less satisfactory than in earlier tests. A poor sulfur material balance indicates need for improved analytical procedures. Total CAFB development through a large demonstration test will probably take about 6-7 years and require $3,320,000 in engineering effort.
