A third type of FB is currently being <strong>de</strong>veloped, termed a fast, internally circu<strong>la</strong>ting<br />

gasifier, which combines the <strong>de</strong>sign features of the other two types. The reactor is still<br />

at the pilot-stage of <strong>de</strong>velopment (McKendry, 2002a).<br />

Bubbling fluidized bed (BFB)<br />

Bubbling FB gasifiers consist of a vessel with a grate at the bottom through which air is<br />

introduced. Above the grate is the moving bed of fine-grained material into which the<br />

prepared biomass feed is introduced. Regu<strong>la</strong>tion of the bed temperature to 700–900º C<br />

is maintained by controlling the air/biomass ratio. The biomass is pyrolysed in the hot<br />

bed to form a char with gaseous compounds, the high molecu<strong>la</strong>r weight compounds<br />

being cracked by contact with the hot bed material, giving a product gas with a low tar<br />
