2 Basic informations Full title of the project: Advanced Biomass Combustion Modelling for Clean Energy Production Duration: months SLAJD 2

3 Basic informations The purpose of the project is to develop and improve the modelling methods for biomass combustion and co-combustion in circulating fluidised bed (CFB) boilers. Such method are essential for reliable design and scale up of boilers, but are at present to a large extent lacking. SLAJD 3

20 Project objectives The objectives of the project are to improve the design tools and modelling methods concerning combustion of biomass in CFB at scales ranging from small scale to utility scale units. This is achieved by development of submodels and comprehensive 1D and 3D models and validation of the models based on experiments carried out at bench scale equipment, pilot scale and full scale CFB units. SLAJD 20

22 Methods Scaling-up The project includes process studies in several different scales. Laboratory scale enables phenomenon study and development of combustion submodels for the process models in larger scales. In pilot scale process characteristics can be studied and measured more easily than in full scale, therefore link between pilot and full scale modelling is important. Full scale modelling will be carried out in 1D and 3D. SLAJD 22

24 The three-dimensional process model of a CFB furnace uses a semi-empirical approach, in which fundamental conservation and momentum equations are combined with empirical correlations, and simulation of large scale units is possible. SLAJD 24

25 Oxygen concentration Temperature field Heat flux profile The above model results clearly illustrate the need for three-dimensional modeling of furnace process. SLAJD 25

31 Project outcomes The project will generate R&D activities and cooperation between top level universities and research organizations in Poland, Sweden and Finland. None of the partners alone could reach the same level of knowledge, which is possible through the cooperation in this project. With improved tools and models, the new boiler units can be optimally designed and operated. Increasing the performance, controllability, availability and efficiency of the biomass fired units SLAJD 31
