This invention relates to a fluidised bed unit for use in thermally treating a by-product. The unit forms part of an energy conversion system that is suitable for instailation on a farm or small scale installation that handles the by-product. The unit comprises a furnace having a fuel charging inlet, a furnace sump for storing fluidised bed media, a clinker extraction unit mounted in the sump adjacent the base of the sump for removing clinkers from the fluidised bed media through a sump discharge aperture, a burner unit and an air introducer assembly comprising a forced draught fan, a single air box coupled to the forced draught fan and a plurality of nozzles fed by the air box. The fluidised bed unit is compact, relatively simple to maintain and commercially viable so that it may be installed on a farm or in a processing plant to process a by-product. <Figure 2> |
