Scope of activities:
- Thermal treatment of municipal, industrial, medical and veterinary waste as well as sewage sludge and RDF alternative fuel
- Research on flue gas cleaning methods: dry flue gas desulphurization method, selective non-catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (SNCR) method, selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (SCR) method, reduction of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDDs) emissions and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs)
- Analysis of the biomass torrefaction process
- Analysis of changes in the state of air pollution in Poland
- Identification of the mechanism of winter and summer smog formation
present activities:
- Measurements of VOC and ammonia sums from combustion of coal and biomass
- Measurements of VOC and ammonia emissions from biomass torrefaction processes
- Measurements of pollutant emissions from the RDF storage and combustion process
- Modeling the processes of catalytic and non-catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides
- Determination of the kinetics of torrefaction reactions of various types of biomass and determination of the use of the resulting torrefaction
- Determination of the dependence of the concentration of pollutants and meteorological parameters in the smog generation process
Future activities:
Continuing current research acitivities.
