Abstract: Revolving type fluidised-bed technology, developed by Ebara Corp., is installed in more than 100 facilities worldwide. The technology is applied for waste, coal and in situations where a conventional fluidized bed is difficult to use. Waste and/or coal can be treated and valuable energy can be recovered from a non-renewable source. This paper describes the application of the revolving fluidised bed for waste, coal and tyres.

Keywords: coal substitution; energy from waste; fluidised bed.
