Abstract: A scrubber tower of a flue gas purification device, comprising: a flue gas entrance and a flue gas exit, a liquid entrance and a liquid exit, a contact area for said flue gas and said liquid between said flue gas entrance and said liquid entrance, at least one tray installation positioned within said contact area and across at least 50% of a horizontal extension of said contact area. The tray installation provides a multiplicity of through openings for said flue gas and said liquid respectively, which through openings being adjustable individually, in groups or all together in their respective cross sections.

Abstract: Fluidized bed apparatus, comprising a circulating fluidized bed reactor with at least one outlet port at its upper part, wherein said outlet port allows a mixture of gas and solid particles exhausted from the fluidized bed reactor to flow into a number (n) of associated separators for separating solid particles from said gas, a number (n) of means to transfer said separated solid particles from said (n) separators into a number (up to n) of discrete fluidized bed heat exchangers (24.1, 24.2, 24.3), and return means to transport at least part of said solid particles back from said discrete fluidized bed heat exchangers (24) into the circulating fluidized bed reactor, wherein the number (up to n) of discrete fluidized bed heat exchangers (24.1, 24.2, 24.3) are mechanically connected to provide one common fluidized bed heat exchanger (24)mwith water cooled intermediate walls (24i) between adjacent discrete fluidized bed heat exchangers (24.1, 24.2, 24.3).

Abstract: An air distribution nozzle and fluidized bed including said nozzle, the nozzle including a gas inlet pipe and an air distribution cap defining a space inbetween them, first air outlet means allowing air to flow from the gas inlet pipe to the space and second outlet means allowing air to flow from said space to the ambient area, wherein said second outlet means has an outer cross section along the outer surface of the cap that varies in its vertical height along its horizontal extension.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flue gas purification device with a scrubber tower (10), also called a scrubbing tower, a washing tower or an absorption tower.
