Funded Activity Summary

Combustion Characteristics of Biomass Chars in Pressurised Circulating Fluidised Bed Reactors. The development of new, cleaner methods of electricity generation, such as biomass-based integrated gasification combined-cycles and hybrid-cycle pressurised fluidised-bed combustion, have highlighted the need for a greater understanding of the combustion characteristics of biomass chars at high pressures and temperatures. The aim of this project is to gain a clearer understanding of the underlying mechanisms that control the combustion of biomass chars in pressurised circulating fluidised-bed (PCFB) reactors. The fundamental knowledge gained in this project will have immediate practical applications as modern PCFB reactors are considered to be the most suitable systems for the combustion of biomass char particles.
