From page 169...
... A wide range of gas velocities has been used. A velocity of I.S m/s watt produce a dense-phase bubbling fluid bed (e.g., as in test work at Picatinny Arsenal; Liota and Santos, 1978~; much higher velocities, of 10 m/s or higher, lead to highly loaded dilute phase beds (e.g., as in the Circulating Bed Combustor of Ogden Environmental Services)
