Description:
The Spouted Bed Reactor (SBR) technology utilizes the unique attributes of the "spouting " fluidization regime, which can provide heat transfer rates comparable to traditional fluid beds, while providing robust circulation of highly heterogeneous solids, concurrent with very aggressive comminution (particle size reduction through abrasion.) The primary spouted bed provides a zone for volatilization, pyrolysis, and gasification reactions. The gaseous products can then be applied to highly efficient oxidation/incineration in conventional combustion equipment, used for power production in prime movers or, alternatively, chemical products can be recovered. Thus, gasification provides much greater opportunity for product recovery through Advanced Recycling.
