Fluidised bed firing

Hi there! Have you ever heard of a campfire? Well, fluidised bed firing is kinda like that but with really, really tiny pieces of stuff called particles.

So, imagine you have a bunch of tiny particles in a big container. You want to burn these particles, just like you want to burn wood in a campfire. But, because these particles are so small, they can't just be stacked on top of each other to make a fire.

This is where fluidised bed firing comes in. The container that holds the particles has air blowing from the bottom. This air moves the particles around and makes them look like they're boiling. Even though they're not boiling, it just looks like that!

This is important because it means the particles are moving around, so air can get in between them more easily. That way, when a spark or heat is added, the particles catch fire more quickly and evenly.

All of this means that fluidised bed firing is really good at burning small particles like coal or even waste materials. By using it, we can create electricity or heat without harming the environment as much.

Did that help? If you have any more questions, let me know!
