Abstract

Theoretical and experimental analysis was conducted in a bench scale, atmospheric fluidized bed gasifier, designed and constructed for exploitation of residues issued from olive oil production activity and other agricultural residues. Research was focused on the effect of bed material quantity and particle size diameter on the fluidization quality, characterized by regarding bed pressure drop and minimum fluidization velocity. Experiments were carried out, under cold conditions, with a bed with an external diameter of 60 mm (internal 54,4 mm), and a comparison of the first experimental data with theoretical results that addressed the validity of the theoretical model.
