Abstract: A method of operating a combustion process in a cyclone burner, after start-up thereof, is provided. A fuel and a combustion gas is fed into a combustion chamber of the cyclone burner. The velocity of the combustion gas is kept between a lower and an upper limiting gas velocity. The stoichiometric condition (sub- or over-stoichiometric) is maintained by controlling the amount of fed oxygen to the amount of fed fuel. A shift is made to the other stoichiometric condition while preventing the combustion gas from obtaining a velocity outside the range defined by the lower and upper limiting gas velocity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating entrained particles from a gas in a fluidised bed reactor system and fluidised bed reactor system including a particle separator for separating entrained particles from a gas. The particles are separated from the gas flowing in a direction other than the main gas flow direction, whereby the separation is multidimensional. The gas is allowed to pass from the outside of the configuration to the inside thereof and/or vice versa, wherein the particles are separated from the gas during such a travel. The gas flow can be multileveled.
