Abstract
The process intensification potential of rotating- and circulating rotating fluidized beds in a static fluidization chamber when used for the low-temperature pyrolysis and gasification of biomass is numerically evaluated. The species continuity equations and energy balance equations are based on complete mixing for the particles within given zones of the particle bed and plug flow for the gas. The reaction mechanism accounts for pyrolysis of biomass and tar, gas-phase combustion, the water gas shift reaction, and combustion and gasification of char. A comparison with current circulating fluidized bed riser technology is made. The circulation of inert solid with a high heat capacity and the separation of the flue gas from the production gas are also studied.
