The rotating [[Fluidised Bed]] [[Incineration|incinerator]] is a development of the stationary/bubbling bed for [[Waste|waste]] [[Incineration|incineration]]. The [[Fluidised Bed]] is rotated, which results in a longer residence time in the [[Incineration|incineration]] chamber, combined with the uneven distribution of primary air over the distributor to create an imposed mixing pattern, allows for the treatment of a wide range of [[Waste|waste]] types and sizes. These include sludge, [[MSW]] and industrial [[Waste|waste]] after minimal pre-treatment<ref name="ref1" />. | The rotating [[Fluidised Bed]] [[Incineration|incinerator]] is a development of the stationary/bubbling bed for [[Waste|waste]] [[Incineration|incineration]].

The inclined nozzle plates/bed surface, wide bed ash extraction chutes and upsized feeding and extraction screws are specific features to ensure reliable handling of solid [[Waste|waste]]. Temperature control within the refractory-lined [[Combustion|combustion]] chamber (bed and freeboard) is by [[Flue Gas|flue gas]] recirculation. This allows the [[Incineration|incineration]] of fuels with a wide range of [[Calorific Value|calorific values]]<ref name="ref2" />. | ||
