Achieve Continuous Injection of Solid Fuels into Advanced Combustion System Pressures

Abstract

The overall objective of this project is the development of a mechanical rotary-disk feeder, known as the Stamet Posimetric ® High Pressure Solids Feeder System, to demonstrate feeding of dry granular coal continuously and controllably into pressurized environments of up to 70 kg/cm 2 (1,000 psi). This is the Phase III of the ongoing program. Earlier Phases 1 and II successfully demonstrated feeding into pressures up to 35 kg/cm 2 (500 psi). The final report for those phases was submitted in April 2005.
