Abstract: Work on fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) began in the United States in the mid-1960s, with primary emphasis on industrial applications. With the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970, the environmental benefits of the technology soon attracted interest. This provided the impetus for expanded effort focused on the reduced nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions resulting from lower combustion temperature and sulfur dioxide (SO2) capture by means of chemical reaction with limestone or dolomite in the fluidized bed. The oil embargo of 1973 further stimulated interest in FBC technology. Recent interest in fuel flexibility has sustained the interest in FBC in the United States.
