EU - O-Opticomb - Optimierung und Auslegung von Biomasse Verbrennungssystemen

The main objective is to increase the flexibility of biomass combustion plants with respect of fuel input, and substantially reduce the emissions with this technology. To achieve this, results from static studies (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), NOx mechanisms, grate design) have to be implemented with dynamic information of the plant (control concepts). The project can be divided into the following sub objectives: Development and demonstration of advanced control concepts for biomass combustion grate systems. The development of guidelines, including demonstration, to minimise the important emissions of NOx and CO. Improvement of the efficiency (technical and economical) of biomass combustion plants. Design rules for biomass combustion systems and process control systems. The design and testing of a new grate.
