What is fluidized-bed combustion?

Fluidized-bed combustion is a technology used for burning solid fuels, such as coal or biomass, in which the fuel particles are suspended in an upward-flowing stream of air. This creates a fluid-like state, allowing for more efficient and uniform combustion. The process enhances heat transfer and reduces emissions of pollutants due to lower combustion temperatures. It is commonly used in power plants and industrial applications for its efficiency and environmental benefits.
