Abstract:
Standpipes are an essential component to circulating fluidized bed systems. Standpipes are one of the only components of a circulating fluidized bed system that build pressure and adjust their height and pressure build automatically to balance the pressure drop along the rest of the circulating loop.
About PSRI Research Briefs:
Particulate Solid Research Inc. (PSRI) is an international consortium of companies focused on the advancement of technology in the multiphase flows with granular and granular-fluid systems. Since 1971, PSRI has amassed a prolific amount of design data, technology, know-how, design criteria and models on all aspects of slurries, liquid injection, fluidization, entrainment, pneumatic conveying, attrition, erosion, distributor design, standpipes, solids transfer, and circulating fluidized beds. From the data produced, PSRI has developed design correlations, models, procedures, methods and techniques which are among the best and most useful in the field.
