A comprehensive simulator of fluidized bed equipment (CSFMB) has been able to reproduce experimental testsof bituminous coal gasification. The tests employed a bubbling fluidized bed pilot operating at atmospheric pressure andmixtures of air and steam were injected as gasification agents. Relatively low deviations between experimental and simulationresults have been achieved. The simulator can now be applied on optimized scaling up of that equipment operatingat any pressure. It also opens the possibility of integrating CSFMB as a module of wider simulations aiming optimizationsof CIG/GT (Coal Integrated Gasification/Gas Turbine process) and Fisher-Tropsch.
