9、ar in San Diego. Fuel Cell Technology Due Real-World Test BURR RIDGE, 111.-M-C Power Corpo- ration is planning to install what it say is the worlds largest fuel cell stack this year. The stack will be installed at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego in a demonstration project designed to accel- e
10、rate progress towards development of a dependable, market-priced power plant. The company says the 250 kW molten carbonate fuel cell stack will be the first to operate in a cogeneration mode, and in- cludes new design elements, manufactur- ing techniques and assembly processes. The plant will use na
11、tural gas or other hy- drogen-rich fuels to generate the power. “Were extremely pleased with the stacks performance during the qualifi- cation process,” said Elias H. Camara, president of M-C Power. “Our stack met or exceeded our goals for performance, power production and stability.” As part of the
12、 qualification process, the stack was brought up to operating tempera- tures of 1200F (649C) and operated for 200 hours. The next step is shipping the condi- tioned stacks to NAS Miramir where the balance-of-plant equipment has been in- stalled and tested. The balance-of-plant includes equipment for
13、 converting natu- ral gas into the hydrogen fuel necessary for the fuel cell, and power conditioning equipment to convert the direct electric current produced by the fuel cell into al- ternating current. The 250 kW power stack is expected to produce power and steam later this year after installation

38、ower Companys (WEPCO) coal-fired Valley Power Plant is meeting Federal Clean Air Standards with the help of a new pollution control system which uses special fabric filter bags to trap superheat- ed ash and other contaminants. The system replaced an elec- trostatic filtration scrubber system used si

The six-inch diameter, 20-foot-long (6.1 m) filter bags are made from fibers produced by Amoco Fabrics and Fibers us- ing polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an engineered thermoplastic produced by Phillips Chemical Company.

Valley Power Plant is a cogeneration steadelectric plant, pro- ducing steam-

During summermonths, when steam demand is low, Valleys two generators produce up to 282 megawatts of electricity. In winter, the plant reduces its electrical output to supply up to 1,350
42、,000 pounds (380 MW) of steam an hour to heat about 500 commercial and industrial buildings, including parts of Marquette University. The plants pollution control system is fitted with four bag- house units, each serving one of the four coal-fired boilers. The entire system contains 18,000 filter ba
43、gs: 650 per module, eight modules in each bag house. Anthony Ponds, the project engineer for Environmental Elements Corp. of Baltimore, the company that designed the system, said that each house has 4,480 bags to handle a flue stream of up to 400,000 cubic feet aminute (188 000 Ws) at 280F (1373C) t
44、o 320F (160” C). Under these conditions, he said the filters capture ash and dust while surviving corrosive nitrogen, carbonaceous and sulfurous fumes, moisture, and various amounts of vaporized organic and inorganic matter.
