FLUIDIZED BED REACTORS

Abstract

In the last 10 years, the production of liquid fuel as result of pyrolysis process from forest residues and other industry residues has been development with more strength. The biol-oil or bio-fuel like well know, are alternative substitutes of fossil fuel, finding application in boilers, furnace, diesel engine and gas turbine. Are products with a high value for the market of chemistry and pharmacology industries. The other hand they are easier to handle, to transport and to store than the natural raw material. The products of pyrolysis have high energy and volumety density and their secondary products in relation with the oil, are more environmental accepted because of its limited of nitrogen and sulphur. Different equipment and technology has been design for obtainment of liquid, focus attention in the fluidized bed reactor. This technology present different advantage as well as: simple structure, utilization of different diameter of particle, easy operation, scale and high flows of
transfer of hot and mass. The main objective of this paper is explaining the pyrolysis process for liquid production, with interesting attention in the fluidized bed reactor configuration.
