Circulating fluidized beds applications

Corrective Action Application Circulating fluidized bed incinerators are ready for full-scale testing under the EPA SITE Program. A unit is now in the RCRA permitting process. 

New applications and novel reactor configurations or operational modes for three-phase systems are continually being reported. These include the operation of a three-phase fluidized bed in a circulatory mode (Liang et al., 1995), similar to the commonly applied gas-solid circulating fluidized bed the application of a three-phase fluidized bed electrode that can be used as a fuel cell (Tanaka et al., 1990) magnetically stabilized three-phase fluidized beds centrifugal three-phase reactors and airlift reactors.

Since the number of different applications of circulating fluidized beds for catalytic reactions on the commercial scale is still small, the development of models for these systems is at an early stage of development. However, throughout the last decade many promising approaches have been developed, the most important of which are described in an overview edited by Grace [107],...
