New features for performance enhancement of experimental Model Bubbling Fluidized Bed Com bustor

Abswact- Fuel fhbility and capacity to burn broad specb-um of fuels at high combustion efficiency with rrinimum emiss ions of

greenhouse gases aefew of tk key advantages fluidized bed combustion techmlogy has wer other existing combustion technology.This

report examines the design, development and testing of an experimental model Bubbling fluidized bed combustor. Three unique featues to

enhance performance of th6 systemw ere suggested andconprehens~elyd iscussed; inert bed's tenperature regulating unit, an

integrated unit that enable Fluidizing air pre-heating as well as Biomass feeding pipe's cooling and segmentations of the Combustor body

into modules /partitioning of these mdules into Iav er and upper section. The results of the test runw ith Palm kernel shell ?nd Coconut

she1s hm that the system performance is erhanced and that the tenperatue is well regulated as obe~vedin the thermal distribution. It

is thereiae proptxed that fie present Bubbling fluidized bed combustor could be bendicial to development of comrcial sizes for paver

generation in Nigeria and Africa sub region.
