13th International Conference on Fluidized Bed Technology CFB-13

Since 1985 the International Conference on Fluidized Bed Technology has been the forum for both the academia and industrial professionals to showcase the latest research and discoveries related to fluidized beds. The 13th Conference will be held at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, hosted by the UBC Clean Energy Research Centre (CERC), UBC Fluidization Research Centre (FRC), GLAB Reactor and Fluidization Technologies Inc., and the UBC Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Conference proceedings will be published in a volume with ISBN number.

CFB-13 addresses both fundamental and applied aspects of circulating  fluidized beds and fluidized bed systems, which cover topics of,

• Fluid dynamics of gas-solid flow
• Modeling and simulation
• Heat and mass transfer
• Fine particle and nano-particle systems
• Process design and scale-up
• Measurements and instrumentation
• Fluid catalytic cracking and other catalytic processes
• Combustion, pyrolysis and gasification
• Looping processes
• Industrial experience
