In this paper a few considerations about constructive features, operation and sizing of biomass atmospheric fluidized bed gasifiers are presented. The analysis is carried out on the base of papers and reports on different authors, and also based on the own authors` experience. The state-of-the-art of this technology is presented, as well as the main problems to solve for its wide industrial application. Successful commercial plants are mentioned. A method to calculate main design parameters using recommended values for the air factor, gas superficial velocity and bed temperature is given. The results are the gas, air and biomass flows, the reactor inner diameter and the expanded bed height. Calculations for three different biomass (sugarcane trash and bagasse, and rice husk) are presented.
