Abstract
Background: VTT have conducted extensive research into
fluidized bed combustion, fuel characterization and
oxy-combustion. Chemical looping research was started a
few years ago to broaden this knowledge to new areas of
technology. Tests with various oxygen carriers have been
carried out using thermogravimetry and a bench scale
laboratory device.
Initial tests and proof of concept: The first cold model
of a solid recycle device was constructed
in 2011. Initial tests showed that in CLC applications
solid flow may be controlled with fluidization at a
double exit loop-seal.The new reactor system concept has
been designed based on the model simulations and scaling
laws. The cold model platform has been constructed in
order to further develop the concept. The cold model has
been commissioned and hydrodynamic tests started.
