Abstract
A circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor or combustor having an internal impact type primary particle separator which provides for internal return of all primary collected solids to a bottom portion of the reactor or combustor for subsequent recirculation without external and internal recycle conduits. The CFB reactor enclosure or furnace is provided with plural furnace outlets. This construction permits increased furnace depths and reduced furnace widths, resulting in a compact design.
