In order to quantitatively evaluate actual circulation quantity of bed material extremely simply and to enhance accuracy of comparison of results of thermal balance examined through simulation or the like with actual operation results, time is measured which is required for bed material in a downcomer 5 to reach an upper predetermined height H1 from a lower reference height H0 during stopped feeding of fluidizing air to an external heat exchanger 7; a flow rate of the bed material as circulation quantity is determined from the time and an accumulated amount of the bed material based on an inner diameter D of the downcomer 5.

A pressurized transport oxy-combustor with different configurations is disclosed. Substantially pure oxygen is fed to the transport oxy-combustor under pressure to combust fossil fuels, generating steam for power generation. The end product is the flue gas containing substantially pure CO2 after moisture condensation. The low excess oxygen necessary to achieve complete combustion in the combustor is scavenged by adding another fuel so that substantially all oxygen fed to the combustor is completely consumed. The capability to operate the transport oxy-combustor as a circulating fluidized bed combustor at very high solids circulation rates makes it unnecessary to use recycled CO2 or flue gas as a means to moderate and control the combustion temperature. The temperature in the combustor is effectively controlled by relatively cooler circulating solids that enter the combustion zone. A small amount of CO2 is recycled for aeration and to convey solids fuel to the combustor.

The present invention discloses a double fluidized beds combustion-gasification material circulating system comprising a fluidized bed gasification furnace and a circulating fluidized bed combustion furnace; the middle portion of the fluidized bed gasification furnace is connected with a material charging chamber of a material returning chamber, and then is connected with the lower portion of the circulating fluidized bed combustion furnace through a material discharging chamber of the material returning device; the upper portion of the circulating fluidized bed is connected to a material charging chamber of a bi-directional material control device through a hyperthermia separator, then is divided into two paths, one path is connected with the lower portion of the fluidized bed gasification furnace through a hyperthermia conical valve on the side surface of the material charging chamber of the bi-directional material control chamber, and the other path is connected with the lower portion of the circulating fluidized bed combustion furnace through the material returning chamber of the bi-directional material control chamber. The circulating fluidized bed combustion furnace and the fluidized bed gasification furnace are combined tightly to implement gasification, combustion, classification and conversion of coal in one set of system, which leads to highly efficiency conversion of coal; the inventive system is also can be used broadly in combustion, gasification, catalysis and regeneration processes.

Said apparatus also preferably comprises a fluidized mixing device (58) for mixing the first portion of the solid particles and the second solid particles with each other.

Systems and methods are provided for determining the size of particles within a fluidized bed reactor. The pressure of gas adjacent a gas inlet and adjacent a gas outlet of the reactor are measured with pressure sensors. An algorithm is applied to at least one of the pressure measurements to determine the size of particles within the reactor. The determined size of the particles can be used to control the operation of the reactor. A dosing system and method is provided for measuring defined volumes of particles for transport to the reactor.

The invention relates to a biomass double fluidized bed indirect gasification system and its control method. Double fluidized beds interact to realize combustion and indirect gasification so as to prepare a high-quality biomass syngas. The system provided by the invention comprises a fluidized-bed combustor and its secondary cyclone separator, a fluidized-bed gasifier and a second cyclone separator, a combustor air injection system, a combustor bed material feeding system, a gasifier vapor injection system, a gasifier biomass feeding system, a gasifier and combustor bed material circulatory system, a bed material recovery system, a combustor and a gasifier pressure control system. By the internal and external circulating double fluidized bed indirect gasifier, nitrogen in the air is naturally separated from the syngas. Through improvement of structure design of a reactor, mixed use of different bed materials, a bed material circular flow system and improvement of the gas-solid mixing level, gasification efficiency is raised, calorific value of the syngas is increased, tar content is reduced, and high-quality syngas is prepared.
