Fluidized Bed Combustion of Pelletized Sewage Sludge in a Pilot Scale Reactor

Fluidized bed combustion stems out as one of the most feasible technology to burn sewage sludge. However, the performances of bubbling fluidized bed combustors fueled with pelletized sewage sludge are still lacking at pilot scale. In this work, an experimental campaign on a pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed combustor (FBC370), was carried out to investigate the effect of sewage sludge pelletization on combustion behavior. The gaseous and...
