  Abstract: A major problem however often encountered in fluidized beds is bed agglomeration, which may result in total defluidization, leading to unscheduled downtime and additional costs. This problem is found to be critical in fluidized bed combustion and gasification of biomass fuels which have high ash and alkali contents [1]. Biomass fuels, especially herbaceous plants, often contain significant amounts of silicon, potassium and calcium, together with chlorine and sulphur. These elements …
