  • the use of fluidised bed units with such fuels results in very efficient combustion.
  • Fluidised bed units also have low emission rates of nitric oxides, which is beneficial to the environment.
  • the use of fluidised bed units is well known and in particular, fluidised bed units can be used with an associated heat exchanger to provide a heated liquid, typically water, which can be stored for later use.
  • Ash fouling is a serious problem in energy conversion systems and heat exchangers which can result in reduced efficiency and, in some case, failure of the devices in question. This is particularly important when dealing with high ash content fuels such as poultry litter or spent mushroom compost. In such cases, the ash and other particulates in the exhaust materials would quickly build-up to block the passage of gases therein.
  • Fluidised bed units require regular cleaning to prevent build-up of ash.
  • a wide variety of techniques have been developed to cope with this issue.
