Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This article examines fluidized bed combustion as a method of choice for disposing for waste economically and within the bounds of rigid environmental standards. The topics discussed in the article include technology scaleup, wood and fossil wastes, municipal and hospital wastes, fuel flexibility, and a sidebar on the fluidized bed combustion technology. The waste fuels of major interest are various low grade liquid and solid residues from the coal, oil, forest products and automotive industries, as well as post-harvest biomass and municipal refuse.
