Liquid injection in a fluidised bed: Temperature uniformity

Liquid injection in fluidized beds occurs well-established industrial processes as fluid coking, spray fluidzed bed granulation and condensed mode gas-phase polymerisation. These still suffer performance issues due to their complex nature, where liquid adds even more complexity. In this work, the effect of on temperature uniformity a pseudo-2D was studied using Infra-Red Thermography. The images were also qualify agglomeration behaviour. Injecting smaller droplets (∼90 μm affects than injecting larger (∼225 μm. However, formation agglomerates increases with increasing droplet size. velocity influences average for droplets. Additionally, increased solids motion observed reduce bed. Lastly, particle distribution does not reflect presence is thus unsuitable quantify
