Fluidized Bed Technology
Fluidized Bed Technology is a process that involves suspending solid particles in a fluid, typically air or liquid, to create a fluid-like state. This technology is commonly used in various industrial applications, such as chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and energy production. The fluidization allows for improved mixing, heat transfer, and reaction rates, making processes more efficient.
In a fluidized bed, particles are introduced into a chamber where a fluid is passed through them at a velocity that lifts and separates the particles. This results in a uniform distribution of temperature and concentration, enhancing the overall performance of processes like combustion and catalysis.
