The Energy Technology Centre in Piteå offers advanced ash melting tests during reliable conditions to:

•

Get control over your fuel

•

Get higher availability and security of your combustion plant

•

Specialbyggda reaktorer

•

Understand the mechanism behind sintering, fouling and

•

Understand the fuels characteristic

If you want to get knowledge of a specific fuel and the ash melting behaviour, we investigate and present the results in an easy way. We can also identify species that should be avoided in a future fuel mix or find an additive that increases the ash melting point.

With a pilot scale fluidized bed reactor we work fast and effectively. The methods have been developed and tested for a long time and the results can be compared with mechanisms in a large scale plant. The experience and knowledge from trials together with fuel analysis makes the results trustworthy. The results are documented in a report and during the progress of a project we also have a good dialogue with our customers.

With this reactor we make characterisation of all kinds of biofuels and tests with fluidized bed sands to study sintering and slaggs from CFB and BFG- boilers.

Many of the daily problems such as sintering, slagging and deposits on tubes can be determined and solved by this method.
