Abstract
A fluidized bed reactor system and method of operating same, in which a fluidized bed of fine particles is combusted in a reactor forming a mixture of flue gases and relatively fine particles entrained by the flue gases. The mixture is passed to a separator which separates the entrained fine particles from the flue gases. The flue gases are passed to a heat recovery area for the extraction of thermal energy and the separated fine particles are collected in a dipleg seal. A portion of the separated fine particles is passed to the reactor and the remaining portion is discharged to the heat recovery area where the fine particles mix with the flue gases and heat is recovered from the latter mixture.
