Emission control and monitoring featured in the new fluidized bed technology meet the tight requirements regarding environmental issues, which have taken a giant leap forward during the past few years. New biofuels, such as forest fuels and short rotation coppice, different types of coals, tire-derived fuel as well as efforts towards improved effective parameters in the market also set increasing challenges, such as fouling, slagging and corrosion, for the technology.

Fluidized bed technology gives an opportunity for efficient and environmentally friendly electricity production. Bubbling fluidized bed boilers have established a good position worldwide in biofuel and renewable power generation. Deliveries of fluidized bed boilers with a thermal capacity ranging from 10 to 600 MWth provide experiences for fulfilling the needs of pulp and paper industry and green power producers worldwide.
