   fabrics that should be of good quality and not expensive, and to transfer 
   the filtration technology to the industry that should be properly linked to 
   the corresponding fabric filter system. In the previous paper, the performance
   of glass-fiber fabrics recently developed by a Korean company, Kangnam Ind.
   Co., Ltd. in Pusan, was tested at bench scale unit in comparison with that of 
   imported ones. As a second stage, pilot scale works were designed in order to 
   obtain proper installation and operation conditions with home-manufactured 
   fabrics. At first, sever field conditions were collected and reproduced at a 
   pilot scale test unit equipped with home-manufactured fabric and typical 
   imported glass fabrics. which is the scope of this paper. More wide variations
   of relevant parameters are currently experimented at the same test unit. Field
   test is also conducted to demonstrate the adaptation of home-manufactured 
   fabrics to real coal-fired boilers.

13 The performance of a fabric filtration technology is superior to those of 
   other dust removal technologies. This technology provides higher dust 
   removal efficiency than any other dust removal technologies and is 
   simultaneously capable of removing sulfur and hydrogen chloride. Therefore, 
   this technology can be applied for the purpose of flue gas cleaning in 
   various industrial processes. However, fabric filtration facilities 
   installed in domestic industries have not been efficiently used due to the 
   following reasons: 1) poor knowledge of dust and fabric characteristics, 
   2) inadequate matching of dust and fabric, 3) unestablishment of the design 
   condition in each industrial processes. In addition, since most fabrics are 
   imported, they are expensive and the manufacturing method and structure of 
   them cannot be easily changed to meet the characteristics of dust. In this 
   research, firstly it is attempted to develop high performance domestic filter 
   fabrics suitable for the dusts generated in various dust-generating processes,
   combustion processes and establish operating conditions for each dust in order
    to obtain satisfactory performances. Secondly, it is attempted to develop a 
    high efficiency fabric filtration technology through the standardization of 
    the design technology and the establishment of the optimum operating 
    conditions.

13 Baghouse is the most widely used equipment for the removal of dust from flue 
   gas. The objective of this research project is to develop  a process which
   could simultaneously remove SO2 and dust using a baghouse from the flue 
   gases generated in various coal combustion or incineration facilities. 
   This process involves injection of humidification water and dry sorbent, 
   which is usually hydrated lime, into the flue gas between the air heater 
   and the fabric filter. The injection of humidification water is for the 
   humidification of the flue gas by a fine wate mist. Hydrated lime is 
   injected into the flue gas after most of the water mist had evaporated. SO2 
   removal reaction occurs in the duct and in the fabric filter. Depending on 
   the operating conditions, more than 90% of the SO2 can be removed in the 
   fabric filter alone due to the reaction with unreacted hydrated lime. 
   The major process variables for the SO2 removal reaction in the fabric 
   filter are filtration velocity, sorbent/SO2 mole ratio, and humidity. 
   Currently optimization of these variables are under study.

13 The objective of this research project is to develop an in-duct dry sorbent 
   injection technology for SO2 removal from flue gas. This process involves 
   injection of humidification water and dry sorbent, which is usually hydrated 
   lime, into the flue gas between the air heater and the dust collection unit. 
   The injection of humidification water is for the humidification of the flue 
   gas by a fine water mist. Hydrated lime is injected into the flue gas after 
   most of the water mist has evaporated. SO2 removal reaction occurs in the 
   duct and additionally in the dust removal unit, which is usually ESP or a 
   fabric filter. The major process variables in this process are sorbent/SO2 
   mole ratio, SO2 concentration, humidity, and residence time of the flue gas.
   The effects of these variables on the process performances are under study.

13 Korea generated 165,000GWh of electricity in 1994. The energy sources used 
   to generate the electricity include oil(25%), LNG(12%), coals(25%), 
   nuclear(35%), and hydro(3%). Being an energy-poor country, Korea generates 
   95% of its electricity by using the imported energy sources. The long-term 
   projection indicates that the electricity generation in Korea will reach 
   54,000MWe in 2006 and that by then, about 30% of total electricity will be

13 Since liquid wastes are currently being collected and treated without 
   respect of their kinds and charateristics, energy is not saved from 
   incineration facility and furthermore, creats environmental problems. 
   In this study, present status of liquid waste generation and treatment 
   is investigated, and thermal decomposition characteristics are studied 
   using a lab-scale thermal reactor. The purpose of this research is to 
   divide liquid wastes into groups, and to present best treatment method

13 Advanced cyclone combustion systems are one class of the emerging clean 
   coal technologies being developed to improve the quality of the nation's 
   air, while increasing the use of abundant energy resource. In cyclone 
   combustion system, coal is burned at a temperature high enough so that 
   coal ash melts and turned to liquid. This liquid then flows down the 
   combustor walls and is collected and withdrawn. Therefore, there are 
   few soild ash particles to pass out of the chamber with the hot gases. 
   In addition, the sulfur found in most coals can also be removed at this 
   point. Calcium compounds are introduced into the chamber, where they 
   combine with the sulfur. The resulting sulfur compounds melt and join the
   slag. Also, because a cyclone combustor operates fuel-rich in the primary 
   zone it will suppress NOx formation. The hot gaseous combustion products 
   formed are ducted into the retrofitted boiler, where sufficient air is 
   added to complete combustion of these gases.
   The object of this study is to develop cyclone combustor by our own efforts, 
   then we made two staged cyclone combustor which is bench scale. The result 
   of burning test, the proper air ratio is about 1.0 and coal feeding rate 
   were more then 30 kg/hr. In the case of Peco-semi coal combustion, it was 
   certified that carbon conversion efficiency was more than 95% and ash 
   removal efficiency in a state of fusion of slag was about 70%.

13 World faces a new round for the international concerning to restrain or 
   even reduce the use of fossil fuels inducing environmental issues such 
   as CO2 emissions causing green house effect or sulfur emissions for acid 
   rain etc. In addition, the limited amount and uncertainty regarding to 
   conventional fuels oil and natural gas reserves are required to develop 
   their substitute fuels. Coal is the world's most abundant and widely 
   distributed fossil fuel, and it has been dominant roles in energy industries 
   over a century. It benefits from a relativery low and stable price that is 
   little influenced by international events. However, conventional combustion 
   technoligies are limited to resolve emission problems from burning coal. 
   Therefore in the longer term, coal is to be converted to clean synthesis 
   gas with advanced gasification technology and it must be clean, efficient 
   in an environmentally sound manners.
   A number of developed countries have already poured the huge amount of 
   investments for the researches and a considerable efforts to reduce 
   emissions of sulfur, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide emissions 
   abatement. Such emissions will be reduced by the use of high efficiency 
   clean coal technology based on integrated coal gasification combined cycles 
   for power generation.
   This research aim is to support basic research for the development of high 
   temperature entrained flow coal gasifier to be utilized for IGCC power system.
   The capacity of 0.5-1.0 ton/day PDU entrained flow coal gasifier was 
   developed by KIER and it will be tested by various coal sources from 
   overseas including Australian coals.
   During the research periods, the following work scopes and experiments were
   carried out.
 * Measured physical and chemical properties of candidated coals
 * Study for system design of coal gasifier 
 * Development of burner and its characteristic study for combustion and 
   gasification
 * Coal preparation and coal slurry feeding system
 * Characteristic of slag flow in gasifier
 * High temperature materials for gasifier
 * Study for instrumentations and control system
 * Slag and particulate removal system
 * Modeling of coal gasification
 * Date analysis for coal gasification experiments.
