[beasiswa] [info] PhD in Optimal Use of Biomass in Power Plant Boilers - Technical University of Denmark

PhD Project - Optimal use of biomass in power plant boilers Combustion and
Harmful Emission Control Research Centre Department of Chemical Engineering

A 3-year PhD position on the above mentioned topic is open at the CHEC
(Combustion and Harmful Emission Control) Research Centre, Department of
Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark.

*Supervisors: *Associate Professor Peter Arendt Jensen (paj@kt.dtu.dk),
Associate Professor Flemming Frandsen (ff@kt.dtu.dk), Professor Kim
Dam-Johansen (kdj@kt.dtu.dk).

*Background:
*Utilization of biomass on large power plants is a potentially efficient
method to reduce net CO2 emissions and reduce the consumption of fossil
fuels. Use of biomass fuels in large suspension-fired boilers may cause
operational problems. One example is when straw is applied as fuel in
suspension fired boilers whereby severe ash deposit formation in the boiler
chamber often takes place. Improved technologies for ash deposit removal are
therefore needed.

This PhD study will deal with the development of models, experimental tools
and innovative concepts to reduce ash related problems in biomass fired
power plant boilers. The study shall be founded on solid knowledge on
Chemical Engineering and will be conducted in tight collaboration with
industrial partners. In some recent CHEC-projects both modeling tools,
advanced probes and laboratory equipment have been developed and those tools
will be available for the PhD project.

*Project content:
*The main objective is to develop methods to optimize the use of straw in
power plant boilers and to develop and verify a model of the transient
deposit formation in a boiler. Practical probe measurements on a full scale
boiler will form the basis for a mathematical model for deposit formation
taking all important parameters into consideration. Based on the results
strategies for efficient boiler operation is to be established. The project
will be conducted in collaboration with the power company Vattenfall.

The PhD-candidate will carry out the model development and conduct the probe
measurements together with technicians. Vattenfall will operate the boiler
and participate in the planning of the project.

*Contents of PhD application:
*Candidates should hold a master degree in chemical engineering, or similar
degree with an equivalent academic level. Applications must include
Curriculum Vitae, a statement on your motivation for applying,
recommendations, and copies of all grade lists and other relevant diplomas.

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for
PhD degree students at the Technical University of Denmark:
