Ash Melting Behaviour and Deposition in Oxyfuel Biomass Combustion
The combustion of biomass is proposed as a “carbon neutral” alternative to fossil fuel utilisation and even a “carbon negative” technology when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage technologies such as oxyfuel combustion (Bio-CCS). Read more
Dynamic simulation of power generation plant for carbon capture and storage
The new generation of power plants should offer effective solutions to reduce emissions and implement CO2 capture and storage. However, the combination of a complex fuel-processing plant and the level of integration lead to challenging problems with respect to the dynamic/transient operation. Read more
Analysis of post-combustion CO2 capture from natural gas power plants using CFD and process co-simulation
The use of natural gas as a fuel for electricity production is expected to gradually increase in the next decades. Since it is acknowledged that large CO2 emission cuts should be achieved in the near future, it seems plausible that these systems may have to be coupled to CO2 capture schemes. Read more
Dynamic simulation of load-following power plants integrated with CO2 capture technologies
Flexible operation of fossil fuel power plants is becoming a hot topic in the energy generation sector due to the expected increase of intrinsically intermittent renewable technologies in the energy mix in the near future. Read more
Cleaner coal technology - Combustion technology for low volatile coals
Coal-fired power generation currently accounts for approximately 30% of the total energy market share globally and contributes a significant portion of the total emissions to the atmosphere. Read more
Developing Filtration Technologies: Optimising Flue Gas Filtration Assets in the UK Energy from Waste Sector
About Durham Filtration. Durham Filtration Ltd. has the strategic intent to become a renowned technical authority in the field of flue-gas filtration for large-scale industrial combustion plants, particularly in the Energy-from-Waste and Biomass Energy markets of the UK and Europe. Read more
Liquid metals embrittlement behaviour of fusion materials under radiation environment
Fusion power is one of the reliable energy sources that is clean. Energy was harnessed from the fusion reactions of two hydrogen isotopes, i.e. Read more
Advanced oxy-coal combustion modelling and optimisation
Oxy-coal combustion with recycled flue gas is an emerging technology for efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) that can substantially reduce carbon emission from coal-fired power plants. Read more
Development of New fuels Assemblies for Advanced Nuclear Technologies
This PhD project is part of a wider project on ‘New Fuel Assemblies for Advanced Nuclear’ in collaboration with the University of Oxford, Bangor University, MIT and the UK National Nuclear Laboratory. Read more
Concrete under fire
Concrete remains one of the mostly widely used materials in the world and fundamental to society. However, it is also a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions representing 8% of global CO2 production. Read more
Integration of membranes at PACT for industrial testing with real/synthetic flue gases
A pre-pilot-scale membrane module prototype will be installed for industrial testing at the UKCCSRC PACT) Facilities, integrated with a gas turbine and a solid fuel reactor for coal/biomass to test number of fuels and operating conditions. Read more
