fluidized bed combustion

Fluidized bed combustion is a process where a fuel, like coal or biomass, is burned in a chamber filled with a special granular material, such as sand or limestone. Air is blown through the material, making it behave like a fluid, which ensures excellent mixing and efficient burning at lower temperatures. This method allows for cleaner emissions, better fuel efficiency, and the ability to burn various types of fuels. It is commonly used in power plants to produce electricity while reducing environmental impact.
