Fluidized bed reactor (FBR) are chambers that allow the mixing of liquid or gas substrates with powdered catalysts such that the catalyst acts like a fluid, maximizing mixing and catalyst action. The basic configuration is detailed to the right where a substrate is passed upward through the chamber under pressure through a plate that supports the catalyst. FBRs are essential production of many materials and chemicals and is needed for several basic capabilities of the GVCS.
