Oxy-fuel combustion is a potential low-emission technique for energy conversion. This paper presents the results of oxy-fuel experiments under high-pressure conditions. The influence process parameters, such as reactor pressure and temperature, on emission NOx, N2O, other compounds was tested. A new experimental setup presented. were conducted using laboratory-scale (fuel input up to 3 kg/h) pressurized fluidized-bed combustor. feedstock used "Ziemowit" coal, tests carried out air-fired...
Abstract The use of torrefied biomass as a substitute for untreated may decrease some technological barriers that exist in co-firing technologies e.g. low grindability, high moisture content, energy density and hydrophilic nature raw biomass. In this study the TG-MS-FTIR analysis kinetic willow (Salix viminalis L.) samples at 200, 220, 240, 260, 280 300 °C (TSWE 300), were performed. TG-DTG curves show case TSWE 240 260 there are pyrolysis combustion stages, while peak associated with...
Abstract During the combustion of solid fuels, undesired effects ash transformation include bed agglomeration, slagging, and fouling processes. In particular, a problematic consequence agglomeration is defluidization process, resulting from disappearance gaseous bubbles that are created behind air distributors. Different solutions can be applied against process. One possible method to apply some additives influence behavior, thus inhibiting This paper presents results investigations into...
Combustion performance of emerging raw marine biomass called Posidonia oceanica (PO) was investigated using TGA apparatus and a bubbling fluidized-bed batch reactor. The kinetic mechanism parameters the combustion process were determined. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method data fitting analyzed. It observed that model based on consecutive processes: devolatilisation char for two fractions PO (holocellulose lignin), is best analyzed cases. BFB reactor composition flue gas after analyzed,...
This research discusses the results of experiments performed on a large-scale gasification installation to determine influence total system pressure and partial CO2 efficiency conversion quality produced gas. The three tested feedstocks were bark, lignin blend bark wheat straw, while softwood pellet (SWP) was used as reference fuel. A mixture O2/CO2/H2O agent. tests devised validate previously proposed process parameters, verify whether similar ash agglomeration problems would occur compare...
Abstract In this paper some issues of the transition process from air- to oxy-combustion were investigated. Advantages flexible combustion described. Flexible tests carried out at four European plants and five outside Europe different scales test parameters presented. An analysis time air laboratory pilot scale processes was out. The “first-order + dead time” approach used as a model describe process. Transitional periods between modes characteristic determined. depends not only on...
Case study teaching allows students to have contact with real life business, management or engineering situations instead of "chalk-and-talk" ex-cathedra form academic teaching. It has already become the main method in most business schools since pioneer example Harvard University. Nevertheless, case represents an important other areas namely, context where they should be implemented on a large scale. KIC InnoEnergy M. Sc. "Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy" course run at AGH...
