Applications of Fluidized Bed Technology

Fluidized beds (FB) and circulating fluidized beds (CFB) are widely used in industry. The major processes that utilize FBs and CFBs will be discussed. Each process has evolved over the years with its own design rules and culture. Understanding various processes and how these unit operations are implemented help us understand the best practices and general design guidelines.

This webinar will cover the following topics:

• Particle size, density and Geldart Group classification,
• Unifying Regime phase diagram indicating various regimes of fluidization,
• Fixed bed vs. fluidized beds vs. circulating fluidized beds,
• Catalytic processes,
• Noncatalytic processes,
• Physical processes,
• Regimes of fluidization in each of this process
