01/ Biomass
Fundamental
and the applied research, as well as the development of mathematical models of
the combustion and heat transfer processes are aimed at development of the
commercial devices in accordance with the industry.
Research
directions
-
Cigar combustion of the baled
biomass (fuels: byproducts of the agricultural production and energy crops,
collected in the form of bales)
-
Fluidized bed (FB) combustion (fuels:
waste food oils, glycerin, paper industry sludge, residues from crude oil reservoirs,
corn infected by aflatoxins, fruit stones, corn cob, wood chips, wood bark, pellets,
etc.)
-
Combustion of fire wood in the household furnaces and boilers
-
Combustion of the pulverized
coal supported by the swirl burners
-
Co-combustion in energy plants
-
Ignition and fire support in
the large-scale boilers burning low-grade pulverized coal and biomass dusts
-
Development of the thermal energy
storage with phase change of medium
-
Numerical simulation of the
processes of combustion and heat transfer, for the purpose of the technology
and developed devices
-
Application of additives and
catalysts for the purpose of optimization of the combustion process and environment
protection
-
Investigation of the
possibility of returning the biomass ash into the soil
-
Biomass gasification
-
Thermophysical characterization
of the baled biomass (determining porosity, permeability, thermal conductivity)
-
Defining the impact of the cold
flue gas recirculation on the global combustion kinetics of the baled biomass,
as well as on the temperature decrease in the combustion process
