Abstract

The effect of fluidization number on the sustainability of fluidized bed combustion of empty fruit bunch was investigated. Proximate and ultimate analyses were conducted to determine the physical and chemical properties of empty fruit bunch. Sand mean particle size was determined at 0.34 mm and the sand bed height was set at 1 Dc which is equivalent to the diameter of the reactor. Combustion study was carried out in a circular reactor of 0.21 m diameter and operated at stoichiometric condition (Air Factor = 1). The range of fluidization numbers under investigation was from 3 to 8 Umf. The fluidized bed operated in a bubbling mode at operating temperature at about 7000C. Results showed that the most optimum fluidization number was 5 Umf being the most optimum with respect to the sustainability of the bed temperature.
