Slaggpåbyggnad i grate-kiln process

LKAB har fyra järnmalmspelletsverk av typen grate-kiln i Kiruna. Slaggpåbyggnad i grate-kiln systemet förorsakar produktion störning, skador på utrustning och produktkvalitet av järnmalmspellets.

Future low emission biomass combustion systems (FutureBioTech)

The project shall provide substantial contribution concerning the development of future low emission stoves and automated biomass systems (<20 MWth).
The work will be based on three relevant approaches; literature surveys and evaluation of present data, experimental work and use of calculation/modelling tools.

Development of a practical and reliable ash melting test for biomass fuels

In particular for wood pellets (AshMelT)

The market for solid biofuels is growing rapidly, and the demand for raw materials with more problematic ash behaviour is increasing.
The ash fusion test is the only standardised method currently available to assess the ash melting behaviour of solid biomass, but the significance of this test is frequently criticised.

Sino-Swedish cooperation for increased global use of biomass pellets - Phase 1

To develop the Swedish bioenergy industry (manufacturers of equipment for thermal conversion of biomass and manufacturers and users of equipment for pellet production), it is of interest to develop technology for ash rich fuels.
This requires extensive fundamental research regarding raw material characteristics and ash chemistry to in a later stage in applied research pursue technical solutions on ash related problems such as (1) sintering and slagging, (2) fouling, (3) corrosion, (4) flue gas cleaning, (5) fine particulate emissions and (6) recycling of nutrients.
The increased competition for biomass fuels also within Europe will give competitive advantages for those who can handle also worse fuels as compared with forest fuels.

North Waste Infrastructure (NWI) - WP 4 Development of Combustion Processes and Fuel Composition

North Waste Infrastructure, NWI, is a unique, modern environmental project with a focus on extracting more energy and nutrients from waste products.
Increased interest in environmental issues means increased competition for conventional biofuels. This will also, most likely, lead to an increased need for active fuel management by the owners of production plants. Active fuel management presents an opportunity to minimise potential availability issues and  maximise the utility of the solid products formed in combustion plants.
