This paper was an executive summary for an oral presentation to be included in the conference proceedings of the 2024 Clearwater Clean Energy Conference. It includes a brief discussion of a recently developed non-dimensional map for scaling circulating fluidized bed risers using velocity and solids circulation rate ratios. Data is presented for a set of experiments conducted in NETL’s 12-inch cold flow circulating fluidized bed (CFCFB) riser with 200 micron diameter glass beads, showing a strong dependance between solids volume fraction profiles and the solids circulation rate ratio.
