Moving Bed, Granular Bed Filter Development Program: Option 1, Component Test Facility. Task 2, Identification of technical issues

“…Recognizing these limitations, the Department of Energy sponsored a new program for the development of a GBF which would be smaller, less complicated and cost competitive with candle filters. Under this program, Combustion Power reviewed the design of granular-bed filters and came to the conclusion that the most effective method of packaging a GBF is to have large filters up to 20 ft in diameter (Wilson, 1993). The filter geometry tested at NYU was scaled to large sized filters to maximize the chances of having a successful filter configuration.…”
