INTRODUCTION
As widely used drying systems, FBDs have found
many applications in almost all agricultural, biochemical,
chemical, pharmaceutical, food, ceramics, polymer,
dyestuff, and other process industries. FBDs can be utilized
as an efcient dehydration method, not only for moist
particulate and granular products with susceptibility to uidization, but also for removing moisture from suspensions,
solutions, dilute pastes, or sludges in a bed of inert particles.[1,2] Particulate materials are commonly dried by hot
air or superheated steam to a desired level of moisture content. Fluidization provides high rates of heat and mass
transfer, improves uniformity of temperature prole across
the bed, facilitates material handling and solids mixing, permits processing of temperature-sensitive solids, and offers
high thermal efciency of drying process. Generally, FBDs
can be used for drying of particulate materials, agglomerates, granules, coatings, and layers. In uidized bed granulation, coating, and agglomeration, the complexity becomes
even more serious because of a series of transient interconnected phenomena; i.e., binding liquid spraying, particle
agglomeration, and wall deposition. Thus, these processes
are very strict and even impossible to estimate, monitor,
and control during the operation. Moreover, scale-up of
ill-dened processes, such as drying, is well-known to be a
problematic practice of industry and can be expensive
when it goes wrong. Traditionally, FBDs are inspected by
simple methods with easily measurable variables, such as
temperature and humidity of the exhaust air, bed axial
and average temperatures, and variation of pressure drop
and temperature throughout the bed. However, these
measurements provide little insight into the complex hydrodynamic phenomena such as incipient deuidization and

MONITORING TECHNIQUES
Conventional Techniques
Traditionally, monitoring particle moisture and process
end-points, the point at which a drying is completed,
in FBDs has been carried out based on measurement of
process variables such as outlet air temperature, outlet air
humidity, inlet and outlet temperature difference, and other
simple measurements of miscellaneous parameters according to the dryer characteristics. Particle size measurement
and tests of the chemical properties of the product are
performed by acquiring samples during the processing
and subsequent analysis using off-line techniques. Fluidization quality was usually identied by visual observation and
evaluation of global hydrodynamic parameters by applying
empirical models. The most important studies regarding the
application of conventional techniques for monitoring of
FBDs are listed in Table 1.
Alden et al.[11] applied the temperature difference techniques using simple psychometric calculation to control the
process end-point in FBD. The end-point of the granulation
process was successfully identied and controlled by a computer program. Watano et al.[12] successfully examined the
uctuations of power consumption in an agitated uidized
bed granulator to monitor granule growth and to determine
the process end-point by computing the coefcient of
variation of the utilized power. In another investigation,
Watano et al.[13] developed a fuzzy controller for controlling the bed height, which was successively measured by
an ultrasonic sensor during uidized bed granulation. The
controller effectively prevented deuidization and channeling by controlling the bed height. Sivashanmugam and
Sundaram[14] developed two different empirical models for
predicting the pressure drop for both dilute and dense phase
ow regimes in FBD for ragi drying with an acceptable
deviation, and presented a correction coefcient for the
dense slugging ow regime. In a similar study, they distinguished the mixed ow behavior up to a certain particle
Reynolds number from the residence time distribution
studies.[15] El-Nans et al.[16] measured minimum spouting
velocity as a function of moisture content for drying of
sludge and found a decrease in the minimum spouting
velocity by progressing of the drying process. Temple and
van Boxtel[17,18] used simple measurements for continuous
and batch tea FBD based on wet material feed rate and
direct feedback of the moisture content and intermediate
exhaust temperature to design a full automated control
system. In addition, this research group has published several papers about design and application of a full automate
control system based on different methods of controller
tuning,[19] a custom-built electronic data logger applied to
combination of experimental ndings with modeling and
simulation results,[20] and an algorithm-employed transient
exhaust air temperature.[21] These strategies appropriately

resolution. It is worth mentioning that the NIR imaging system (hyperspectral imaging spectrometer) has been developed
within the last few years with the ability to simultaneously
record spectral and spatial information of particles. This
new system can be a useful tool in the future for real-time
monitoring of particle physiochemical attributes and bed
hydrodynamics. The moisture content affects the measurement in monitoring the particle size,[63] and it gives only statistical characteristics without giving actual information about
particle size.[64] This technique, especially the IR moisture
sensor, is not actually non-intrusive due to its direct effect
on the heat and mass transfer coefcient.
Pressure Fluctuations
Pressure uctuations in a uidized bed are mainly related
to the formation, rise, and collapse or eruption of bubbles,
clusters, and agglomerates.[65] However, transient pressure
uctuations are quite complex and dynamic phenomena
whose exact origin is not yet entirely understood.[66] In
the case of FBDs, variation of the water content of particles
inuences bubble characteristics. Therefore, monitoring
and proper analysis of pressure uctuations can lead to a
more detailed and deeper insight into the process and
possibly generate new ideas for improvement. Real-time
condition monitoring of uidization, particle size, and
moisture content can be obtained by simple measurement
of pressure uctuations. Nevertheless, interpretation and
understanding of pressure signals is complicated due to
their intrinsically non-local nature.[66] It should be mentioned that pressure uctuations measurement is not a novel
technique for monitoring of FBDs. However, various innovative methods, including statistical, frequency domain
(fast Fourier and wavelet), nonlinear (fractal, chaos), and
recurrent plot analyses, have been developed and utilized
in recent years for interpretation of pressure uctuations
of uidized beds.[6771] Recently, several researchers have
attempted to review papers on measurement and analysis
of pressure uctuations in uidized beds. Bi[72] critically
reviewed the complex pressure uctuations phenomenon
in gassolid uidized beds. Sasic et al.[73] reviewed both
modeling and experimental techniques for investigating
the uid-dynamic behavior of gassolid uidized beds using
pressure signals. Van Ommen and Mudde[6] focused on
measurement techniques employed for elucidating the voidage distribution in gas-solid uidized beds. Van Ommen
et al.[66] provided a critical review of time-series analysis
techniques applied for interpreting the pressure signals in
uidized beds. Table 3 summarizes some of the recent
research and the most important results obtained using
pressure uctuations monitoring and analysis of FBDs.
Li et al.[74] found that the addition of smaller particles
increases the frequency and amplitude of pressure uctuations and improves the gassolids contact of soybean in

Several researchers have employed ECT for characterization of uidized bed hydrodynamics, particle moisture
content, and bulk density (Table 6).
Chaplin and Pugsley[88] applied the S-statistic technique
for both reconstructed and non-reconstructed ECT images
to recognize the localized variations in the dynamic behavior of a batch FBD. The S-statistic technique and the visual interpretation of the tomographic data showed that the
variations in the bed hydrodynamics with progressing drying process were most severe at the vicinity of the chamber
walls, while the central region was identied by a more
consistent dynamic behavior. In a similar study, Chaplin
et al.[117] corrected the effect of moisture on the permittivity
of drying pharmaceutical granules based on the leastsquares linear t of the packed bed capacitance to the moisture content and conrmed the ECT results with X-ray tomography. The Bottcher and parallel permittivity models
were more accurate at high and low moisture contents,
respectively.
Wang et al.[118] comprehensively compared the results of
solids concentration and moisture content obtained from
mathematical modeling, CFD simulation, and ECT
measurement. Wang et al.[119] developed a feedback controller based on online ECT measurement to control sample
moisture content on FBD by regulating the air ow rate. It
was shown that the moisture content can be successfully
controlled and the thermal efciency can be slightly
improved by the developed system. Villegas et al.[120] conrmed the results of the lumped-distributed parameter
model by ECT measurement to predict the particle moisture
content, the temperature proles during the drying process,
and the permittivity. The inlet air velocity was manipulated
to design and implement a simple distributed parameter
controller and then it was successfully applied to control a
batch FBD. Amongst different Maxwell permittivity models, the Maxwell series model was able to evaluate precisely
the effective permittivity in the FBD.[121] Measurements by
halogen moisture analyzer conrmed the results of all three
employed approaches. Wang and Yang[121] found that the
capacitance was strongly affected by particle moisture and
excitation frequency. The capacitance was linearly changed
with the moisture content at low water contents, while a
more complex and nonlinear trend was observed at high
moisture contents. However, the effect of reconstruction
models on moisture distribution and hydrodynamics was
obvious at a frequency lower than 1 MHz and high moisture
content of granules on FBD. An algorithm based on
the nite element method (FEM) was developed by
Rimpilainen et al.[122] to reconstruct the 2D image obtained
from ECT measurements. The average moisture content
was precisely predicted by this approach. Threedimensional tomograms, time pipes (constant moisture
surfaces), and normalized moisture curves were used for
identifying the bed hydrodynamics.

more expensive electronic components due to the requirement of applying high frequency, and it must be calibrated
separately for different materials. It is difcult or even
infeasible to attain an appropriate spatial resolution
because of the relatively long wavelengths.
Triboelectric Probe
Triboelectrication is dened as a process of charge
exchange between a certain metal surface and the particle
on which a moving particle comes into contact with the
metal surface and friction takes place.[148] The polarity
and strength of the charge is considerably affected by the
type of material, surface roughness, temperature, strain,
and other properties. A triboelectric current can arise from
this charge transfer, namely triboelectric effect or triboelectric charging, when the metal surface is grounded.[148] Intensity and uctuations of the triboelectric current are affected
by several parameters, including concentration of particulate material, size, surface roughness, and velocity of moving particles, geometric characteristics of the particle-metal
surface collisions, material work function and eventual preexisting charge, and the moisture content of particles.[149]
Thus, the triboelectric probe can be effectively applied in
FBDs for identifying the particle moisture and the uidization regime. A typical diagram of the triboelectric probe and
its measuring principle is illustrated in Fig. 7. A survey of
the literature shows that there are few references of using
triboelectric probes to monitor FBDs (Table 11).
