Explain Fluidized-Bed Incinerators
- sand is heated to 800C by oil or gas and blown around (fluidized) by a blower that sends air from bottom upward
- heated fluidized sand hits sludge, breaks it apart, and burns it
- glass and metals must be removed from refuse to incinerated
- able to burn wastes of widely variable moisture and heat content (i.e. paper and wood)
