Even at very low gas velocities, elutriation of fine particles from the fluidized bed can be an issue. Procedyne has a solution in its high-temperature gas filtration system, which can be integral to the fluid bed process vessel, for virtually solids retention in the process environment and particulate-free exhaust.

the sinter process. The basic rotary kilns and coolers to be used in the sinter plant were to be exact duplicates of alumina kilns. Since the sinter plant would not be expected to reach full-scale operations for nearly a year after the start of the Bayer plant, it would be possible to use one or more of the sinter kilns as
