The project seeks to develop and validate a new pulverized coal combustion system to reduce utility PC boiler NO x emissions to 0.15 lb/million Btu or less without post-combustion flue gas cleaning. Work during the quarter included continuation of the equipment fabrication effort for pilot system components. Successful proof-of-performance testing of the IGT-designed pilotscale natural gas-fired coal preheat combustor was completed by IGT during the quarter. The combustor was then disassembled and shipped for installation in the pilot-scale test system in BBP's Coal Burner Test Facility (CBTF) in Worcester, MA. Delivery of the balance of the pilot system components from the fabricator began near the end of the quarter, with components being installed in the pilot test facility as they were received.

The objective of this project is the development and commercial demonstration of an advanced biomass gasification-based power generation system at Boise Cascade Corporation's pulp and paper mill in DeRidder, Louisiana. The advanced power generation system is intended to meet the immediate needs of the forest products industry for highly efficient and environmentally friendly electricity and steam generation systems utilizing existing wood waste as the primary fuel resource. The novel system is based on three advanced technology components: GTI's RENUGAS  and 3-stage solid fuels combustion technologies coupled with one of the power generation approaches used in DOE's HIPPS program.
