Abstract In industrial practice, it is important to have a method for early detection of changes in fluidized bed behaviour, e.g. , to warn about upcoming bed agglomeration. Recently, a number of new monitoring methods based on observing the non‐linear dynamics of measured pressure fluctuations have been reported. In this paper, these methods for monitoring fluidization are discussed and the expected future developments are described.
