Abstract
A process is disclosed for removing particulate product from a fluidized bed reactor to optimize, within the constraints of the product removal cycle, conservation of gas in which the product is entrained. Data are compiled on the time required for equalizing pressure between product discharge tanks, and these data are used to determine the optimum times for various valves to be open. Product movement steps and equalization steps can be performed simultaneously.
