CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTION

Classification of Fluidized Bed Combustion:

Fluidized Bed
Combustion

Atmospheric Pressure Pressurized Fluidized

Fluidized Bed Combustion Bed Combustion

Both Atmospheric pressure fluidized bed combustion and Pressurized

Fluidized bed combustion are commonly sub-divided to two groups
Bubbling fluidized Bed combustion and Circulating Fluidized Bed
combustion.
What is meant by a fluidized bed?
The particles are supported by the fluid, while there is a
substantial suspension density. Note that there is unlikely to
be a true ‘bed’ in the normal sense.

What do you understand by term fluidization?

Fluidization is the operation through which fine solids are
transformed into a fluid like state through contact with either a
gas or a liquid.
