FBC has various meanings in the Science category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of FBC in Science.
Fluidized bed combustion is a combustion technology used to burn solid fuels. FBC reduces the amount of sulfur emitted in the form of SOx emissions. Limestone is used to precipitate out sulfate during combustion, which also allows more efficient heat transfer from the boiler to the apparatus used to capture the heat energy (usually water tubes). The heated precipitate coming in direct contact with the tubes (heating by conduction) increases the efficiency.
