In order to solve the problems of high temperature chlorine induced corrosion and the emission of dioxins, a new type of double-dipleg circulating fluidized bed incinerator is under development at the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Understanding the hydrodynamics of such new type of CFB incinerator are of crucial importance for successful design and operation of the system. Experiments have been carried out in a lab-scale double-dipleg circulating fluidized bed to study the hydrodynamics of such system. The investigation is focused on the pressure profile in the loop and residence time distribution of particles with different sizes and densities in the secondary dipleg. The results show that the pressure profile in such system is similar to that in the conventional CFB. The residence time distribution (RTD) function of particles in the second dipleg varies with particle recirculating rate, superficial gas velocity and the characteristics of the particles, such as density and size. The mean residence time of particles decreases sharply with an increase of the particle re-circulating rate and slightly decreases as the superficial gas velocity increases. It appears that the density of particle has a stronger influence on the residence time than the particle size. The lighter particles have a shorter residence time. The residence time distribution function of the particles is described by a tank-in-series model. The implication of the results to the design and operation of the double-dipleg circulating fluidized bed incinerator are discussed.

Increased accuracy of solids flow meters can be achieved with sensor fusion; the combination of solids velocity measurement with other process sensors to define the process state of the solids while they flow. In a circulating fluidized bed aeration flow, temperature measurements, and pressure differentials are routinely measured to ensure stable process operations. These process measurements were used as input to real-time model of the standpipe where the velocity measurement was taken to determine the actual solids bed density. The model development and implementation are described with the objective of updating the measured flows continuously in real time. Real time optimization techniques use the pressure measurements for inferring voidage and apply the inferred values to estimate the pressure profile and aeration split. In essence, the approach becomes solving nonlinear least squares problem and closure of mass balance of gas in real time.
