Modeling Coke Distribution above the Freeboard of a FLUID COKING Reactor
In a FLUID COKING unit, reactor cyclone fouling by coke deposits can set the run length of the unit. It was found that the CFD model could quantitatively predict coke distributions in the freeboard region of a FLUID COKING reactor experimental rig, while providing insight into the flow dynamics.
Role of Aeration in Standpipe Flow
Standpipes provide the pressure balance in a circulating fluidized bed and thereby dictate the solid flux into the riser. This research explains the role of aeration ins standpipe flow.
