Abstract: In some embodiments, a method or system for assessing fluidization quality of a fluidized bed reactor, including by: (a) generating at least one set of temperature data indicative of temperature at a location within the reactor as a function of time during operation of the reactor; (b) generating transformed data by performing a Fourier transform on each said set of temperature data; (c) generating filtered, transformed data by high-pass filtering the transformed data to remove low frequency components thereof (preferably including the frequency component whose frequency is the natural frequency of the cooling control loop); and (d) determining at least one indication of the fluidization quality from the filtered, transformed data. In some embodiments, the reactor has a cooling control loop having a natural frequency and the frequency components removed during step (c) include a frequency component whose frequency is the natural frequency.
