Laboratory of energy conversion processes (ECO-lab)
Laboratory of energy conversion processes (ECO-lab) is being developed at the Division of Energy Sciences, LTU to elucidate fundamental aspects of biomass combustion and gasification for supporting R&D activities at industrial scale. Although thermochemical conversion of biomass is a technology as old as the existence of human being, phenomena that occur during conversion are still not understood well, mainly because of its complicated, multi-physical and multi-scale feature.
