Design Considerations

As advanced processes are used commercially for converting coal to other forms of energy, reliable valves will be required for operating in lockhopper service at pressures to 1200 psig (8.3 MPa) and temperatures to 1600°F (870°C). The Department of Energy’s Lockhopper Valve Testing and Development Project, being conducted at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC), is cooperating with lockhopper valve manufacturers and users to improve the state-of-the-art capability of commercially available lockhopper valves. The test facilities and valve testing program currently being made available to valve manufacturers at METC are described. The performance of test valves currently in the program is summarized and design considerations for solids lockhopper service are discussed.

Selection Of

Due to the adaptation of recent pollution mitigation and justification policies there has been a growing trend for electricity generation from various renewable resources. The selection of the optimal renewable energy technology could be measured as a complex problem due to the complication of forthcoming circumstances in any country. Consequently, the proposed similar complex assessment problem can be tackled with the support of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods. The current research study investigates a technology selection problem by proposing a hybrid MADM approach based on the Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) approach with a hierarchical arrangement combined with the Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis plus the full MULTIplicative form (MULTIMOORA). Ultimately, a conceptual case study regarding the selection of the optimal renewable energy technology based on a conceptual development project in Iran has been examined by the proposed combinative MADM methodology.

AbstractLignite gasification ash from the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) gasifier was subiected to two short-term leaching treatments. The cnncentrations of regulated elements in the EPA EP procedure leachate from the bulk METC ash did not exceed the “EP Trigger Limits.” A modification of this procedure that uses a basic synthetic groundwater instead of the acid EP extractant was also performed on the bulk ash and its eleven size fractions. Water equilibria modeling was used to explain the concentrations of major elements in solution. Corcentrations of minor and trace elements in solution after leaching with synthetic groundwater were also below “EP Trigger Limits.”
