 1 Definition of Fluidization

Definition Fluidization is a method of contacting the solid

grains with either a liquid or gas fluid. With this
Process
method the solid grains are expected to have
Phenomenons characteristic like high viscosity liquids.

 7 Advantages & Disadvantages

Definition In the application, fluidized bed has several

advantages compared to fixed bed, among other
Process things:
Phenomenons • Bed characteristic that resemble the fluid
allows for a continuous flow of solids
Factors • High speed of mixing solids causes reactor
always be on isothermal speed, making it
Usages easier to control.
Applications • The transfer of mass and heat between fluids
and solids is better than the fixed bed.
Adv & Disadv
• Heat transfer between fluidized bed with good
heat transfer medium allowing the use of a
heat exchanger that has a smaller surface area.
• Allows operations on a large scale.

 7 Advantages & Disadvantages

Definition Some disadvantages of use of fluidized bed:

• During operation, solid particles eroded so the
Process
fluidization characteristics can changed from
Phenomenons time to time.
• Fine granules will be carried by the flow of
Factors fluid, resulting in loss of a certain amount of
solids.
Usages
• The occurrence of erosion of the vessel and
Applications the cooling system by solid particles.
• The occurrence of bubbles and the local void in
Adv & Disadv
the bed often can not be avoided.
• Mixing solids too soon will result in lack of
uniformity of solids residence time in the
reactor.
