The Staged Cascade Fludized Bed Combustor (SCFBC) is an advanced concept in fluidized bed combustion consisting of a vertical series of shallow fluidized beds which provide optimal conditions for the combustion of coal, desulfurization of combustion gases, and heat transfer to water filled tubes for the purpose of producing steam. A summary description of the conceptual design of the SCFBC is given, followed by market penetration estimates. A program is proposed to carry the concept from bench scale testing through commercialization. (LEW)
