The hot, uncleaned gas from coal gasifiers contains quantities of alkali metals and particles that could cause high rates of hot corrosion and ash deposition in turbine components. Conventional integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) systems, which utilize low-temperature gas-cleanup devices to remove particles and sulfur, have been found to produce a clean gas with acceptable levels of alkali metals and particulate matter. The project summarized here, which was sponsored jointly by the US Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center, and the General Electric Company was directed toward the use of hot, minimally cleaned low-Btu gas. 1 reference, 1 figure, 1 table.
