[Gasification] Fluidised Bed Reactor

[Doug]

Hi Lloyd, Ling He, and Gasification Colleagues,

I appreciate your interest in the request from George which I hope he is following up from your kind replies. One can only guess at the size of his needs bearing in mind these are usually quite big systems. Maybe George can follow up and advise us of exactly what he wants one for, so appropriate advise can be given.

Fluidized beds certainly qualify as Pyrolysis systems, but a lot of effort has been expended in the hope they could be kidded into creating a gas free of condensible hydrocarbons. They can certainly make a large volume of gas fast, but never without extensive gas cleaning. An obvious choice is to develop and maximise their condensate production for further processing into liquid fuels and chemical feed stock, and use the gas straight into a boiler. Having said that, developers promoting this process seem to have a high turnover rate, and the same gear turns up under another name once all the hype and interest dies on the originating project.

Regards,
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.
