Nowadays, a lot is being done to reduce the industry's interference in the environment, due to ecological considerations. Not only is the fluid technology environmentally friendly, but also it is a convenient method of energy production from wide range of fuels. The article presents a summary of the most significant events in the history of fluidized bed boilers, there is also a description of construction and operation of a circulating fluidized bed boiler and its comparison with technologically similar bubbling fluidized bed boiler. The usage of diverse types of fuels is discussed and compared. Special emphasis is placed on the application of fluidized bed boilers in Polish industry.
