... 05 01 2009 In fluidised-bed combustion and gasification of biomass and waste, agglomeration of bed/ash particles is a major problem area. This paper deals with a new method for monitoring and controlling fluidised-bed hydrodynamics, which enables the recognition of agglomeration...

... agglomeration FBC scanning electron microscope petroleum coke Ten samples, from different FBC boiler systems burning petroleum coke, were chosen to study the development, structure and composition of deposits formed by agglomeration at various locations in the boilers. The work focused...

... Agglomeration PFBC Fluidized bed Porosity Combustion Coal The paper investigates agglomerate formation in the world biggest pressurized fluidized bed combustor at Karita Power Station, Japan. It was found that significant amount of agglomerates was formed at an increased boiler load...

... agglomeration fluidized bed biomass conversion In (bubbling) fluidized-bed combustion and gasification of biomass, several potential problems are associated with the inorganic components of the fuel. A major problem area is de-fluidization due to bed agglomeration. The most common found...

... temperature rise up to 1450 K and increase in pressure drop across the bed were observed. Agglomerates were found in the bed material after the experiments. For the porous alumina bed, such agglomeration trouble did not occur. As conclusion, the present porous alumina was effective for both reduction...
