PROGRAM OBJECTIVE:    The objective of this program is to develop and evaluate novel sorbents for the Siemens Westinghouse Power Company's (SWPC's) "Ultra-Clean Gas Cleaning Process" for reducing to near-zero levels the sulfur- and chlorine-containing gas emissions and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) caused by fuel bound constituents found in carbonaceous materials, which are processed in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technologies.

OVERALL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:    The Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation (SWPC), working with the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT), is developing an innovative process for hot syngas cleanup, the "Ultra-Clean Gas Cleanup Process," to meet the needs of advanced IGCC-based co-production of electric power and chemical or fuel products.  It is the development objective of the Ultra-Clean Gas Cleanup System to meet the most stringent cleanup requirement expected in all of the applications (syngas H₂S content < 60 ppbv, HCl content < 10 ppbv, and particulate < 0.1 ppmw).  These are contaminant levels below detection limits of conventional measurement instrumentation.
