Abstract

A method and system for controlling the cyclone collection efficiency and recycle rate in a fluidized bed reactor in which air is introduced into the cyclone separator in a direction opposite to that of the flow of the flue gases and entrained solids. The air entrains a portion of the fine solids and passes same through the separator and to a heat recovery area to reduce the solid inventory reduction as needed.
