Elutriation From Fluidized Beds: Comparison Between Experimental Measurements And 3d Simulation Results, Renaud Ansart, Herve Neau, Olivier Simonin, Philippe Accart, Alain De Ryck
10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
This paper presents comparisons between experimental measurements and unsteady threedimensional numerical simulations performed by an unstructured parallelized CFD multiphase flow code of elutriation and transport of mono-dispersed glass beads type B and A/B in a fluidized bed. These comparisons show a satisfactory agreement between experimental measurements and numerical predictions. The numerical results also show a strong dependence on the mesh size, especially for fine particles. A model accounting for influences of mesoscales structures on overall bed hydrodynamics, which are not resolved by coarse mesh simulations, is applied. Results obtained with the model show improvements for the dense fluidized bed and …

Oxy-fuel fluidized bed combustion (FBC) is a new technology being developed for power production from carbonaceous fuels while producing a nearly pure steam of CO2 ready for sequestration or storage. Unlike oxy-fuel pulverized fuel combustion technology, oxy-fuel FBC offers the opportunity to use poor quality coals, hydrocarbon residues and a range of other materials including biomass. In Canada, pitches, tars and bottoms, in particular, are available in large quantities in western Canada, and this technology offers an opportunity to deal with many of these waste feedstocks in an environmentally benign manner. In addition, oxy-fuel circulating FBC (CFBC) can be fired …

Particle To Gas Heat Transfer In A Circulating Fluidized Bed Riser, Yassir Makkawi
10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
The main objective of this study was to measure the heat transfer from particle to gas in a dilute CFB riser ( 0.8 ) and to derive a predictive equation for the local particle-gas heat transfer coefficient. This coefficient was found to be a strong function of the particle velocity, concentration and length of the heat transfer section. Accordingly, a new correlation in terms of these parameters is proposed.

10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
Oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) can use calcium based sorbents, primarily limestone, for the in-situ capture of much of the sulfur dioxide in the fuel. Under oxy-fuel CFBC conditions, the CO2 content is usually high, and at high combustor temperatures sulfur capture can occur in two steps, calcination and then sulfation. The typical Ca utilization ratio in oxy-fuel CFBCs is less than half. When temperature is below the calcination temperature while remaining exposed to a high CO2 environment, recarbonation of unused CaO may occur. This reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide has the potential to create serious operational …

The pressure balance and mass balance are influenced by the characteristics of different components in the loop of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB). Experiments were conducted in a 4.3 m high cold laboratory CFB test rig with a loop seal. With a fixed bed inventory and superficial gas velocity, the pressure drop of the loop seal decreased with increasing aeration, thus causing an increase in the solid circulation flux (Gs). Correspondingly, the pressure drop in the riser became higher with increasing Gs; the pressure drop of the cyclone had a non-linear relationship with Gs, and the transition point was determined …

Jatropha curcas L. is a very drought-resistant plant, and jatropha oil can be ex-tracted from its seeds. Whilst not suitable for human consumption, we found that it is a promising feedstock for producing (bio)-gasoline. The oil was cracked in an inter-nally circulating FCC-reactor using a Grace Davison Ultima® catalyst. The total con-version was around 65%, with ca. 40% gasoline and ca. 25% crack gas (exact num-bers varied with reactor temperature). The gasoline has a RON > 95 and oxy-gen < 0.3% m. The crack-gas consisted of ca. 35% propylene, ca. 13% 1-butene and ca. 6% ethylene.

10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
Waste wood was gasified in a dual fluidised bed gasifier in order to investigate the behaviour of waste fuels in this technology. The distribution of nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine between the gasifier and combustor of the dual bed system was studied to identify the requirements for gas cleaning devices. The gasification system is suitable for the use of waste wood. A slight adaption of the gas cleaning equipment was necessary compared to gasification of natural woody biomass.

Numerical Simulations Of A Circulating Fluidized Bed With A Square Cross-Section, Tingwen Li, S Pannala, C. Guenther
10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
In this study, both 2D and 3D numerical simulations of a well-documented circulating fluidized bed with a square cross-section were conducted. With some assumptions, a series of 2D simulations was first carried out to study the influence of grid resolution, initial flow field, and boundary condition on the flow hydrodynamics. It was found that 2D simulations under-predicted the solids inventory even with the finest grid (10-particle-diameter grid size). On the other hand, a 3D simulation with relatively coarse grid was found in better agreement with the experimental data. Differences between 2D and 3D simulations were briefly discussed.

10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
A dual fluidized bed process using CaO-based solid sorbent is considered to be a promising technology to separate CO2 from flue gas with low energy penalty. As reactor for CaO-looping cycle, both bubbling fluidized bed and “fast” fluidized bed are available, thus four possible combinations, (bubbling or fast absorber)x(bubbling or fast regenerator), are conceivable for this process. In this work, the authors discuss favorable combination of reactor type from viewpoints of heat removal from carbonation reactor and on energy penalty associated with dilution of pure oxygen by CO2 in the regenerator. As conclusion, suitable combination was found to be bubbling …

10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
The energy supply of the endothermic lignin pyrolysis process in a circulating fluidized bed is to be achieved by recirculation of bed material, which is heated by combustion of the by-products char and permanent gases in a separate combustor. The feasibility of this concept is examined by the investigation of the yield of the byproducts in pyrolysis experiments, char combustion kinetics, the pyrolysis energy demand and the combustion energy of the char and the non-condensable gases. It is shown that the integrated pyrolysis-combustion process is feasible and even produces an energy surplus of 4 MJ/kg raw lignin, which can be …

Effect Of Wall Boundary Conditions And Mesh Refinement On Numerical Simulation Of Pressurized Dense Fluidized Bed For Polymerization Reactor, Pascal Fede, Olivier Simonin, Renaud Ansart, Herve Neau, I. Ghouila
10th International Conference on Circulating Fluidized Beds and Fluidization Technology - CFB-10
The effect of the mesh refinement and the solid phase boundary condition are investigated for numerical simulation of dense pressurized fluidized bed. Two fluidized beds have been considered: a laboratory-scale device and a pilot-scale facility. A relation is proposed to scale-up the numerical simulation and preserving the spatial resolution accuracy. As expected the boundary condition of the solid phase modifies the behaviour of the fluidized bed. Compared to free-slip wall boundary condition, a no-slip condition improves the numerical predictions with respect to available experimental data.
