Hydrodynamic characteristics of cold-bed circulating fluidized beds for the methanol to olefins process
The effects of the riser inlet velocity (2.2-3.9 m/s), seal-pot inlet velocity (2.4-7.1 Umf), aeration flow rate (2.5×10^(-7)-3.7×10^(-6) m3/s) in seal-pot, and solid inventory (0.15-0.2 kg) on the hydrodynamic characteristics of a 9 mm-ID×1.9 m-high cold-bed circulating fluidized bed for methanol to olefins (MTO) process were investigated. FCC (Engelhard; 82.4 μm) particles were used as bed particles. Most of the experimental flow regimes were observed in fast fluidization
and pneumatic transport regimes. The axial solid holdup in a riser increased with increasing solid mass flux and solid inventory. Solid mass flux increased proportionally until reaching a maximum value and then decreased with increasing seal-pot inlet velocity. The obtained hydrodynamic characteristics in the cold-bed circulating fluidized beds were compared with previous results.
