Effect of bed agglomeration by mineral component with different coal types

Bed agglomeration is a major operating problem in fluidized bed systems because the bed agglomeration phenomenon reduces the solid–gas interaction that increases the system efficiency. The bed deposit from a 3 ton/day transport reactor integrated gasifier (TRIG) system was analyzed with electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA) mapping to detect the chemical components in the bed deposit. The bed agglomeration tendency was assessed through a muffle...
