Production of biogas as an automotive fuel from renewable materials
Frühbauer, Zdeněk ; Houdková, Lucie (referee) ; Dlabaja, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to specify and summarize possibilities of biogas production as a motor vehicle fuel by using the renewable energy sources. In the first part of the thesis there are the data concerning biogas, its production and chemical composition. An important part of the thesis is a description of current most used methods of cleaning which adjust biogas to quality of natural gas. The important part of this thesis is to introduce some of already working projects and to get knowledge about possibilities of making biogas from biologically decomposable material as a renewable energy source. The close of the thesis deals with energy, economy and ecological audit too and values biogas through all angles which decide about its using in larger size in the car industry.

Electricity generation from biogas
Kovář, Martin ; Houdková, Lucie (referee) ; Pavlas, Martin (advisor)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is an analysis and description of a combined production of thermal and electrical energy from biogas. Biogas belongs to the category of renewable energy. The first part is devoted to the biogas production. There are also described its properties and its comparison with other alternative fuels. The second part describes the principles of available cogeneration systems and their parameters. Design and analysis of a cogeneration system for a given biogas plan. Evaluation the economic aspect of cogeneration.

Design of Energy Systems Using Hydrogen as Fuel
Slováček, Adam ; Kermes, Vít (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The subject of diploma thesis is to gather knowledge in the production and use of hydrogen. This work is devoted to a comparison of the previously existing processes for producing hydrogen, where the vast majority is filled of fossil fuel. Another section is devoted to new materials for the study based on a number of selected patents and the experiment promising new method for decomposition of water. Based on available data will be carried out energy balance and consequently will be drafted energy system using hydrogen as fuel. In conclusion will be future possibilities evaluated in the field of hydrogen energy.

Dependence of Sludge Thermal Pre-treatment on its Dewatering
Žerava, Zdeněk ; Houdková, Lucie (referee) ; Boráň, Jaroslav (advisor)
The first part of the thesis is focused on the problems related to sludge and evaluates sludge disposal from waste treatment plants. The thesis mentions factors influencing method selection of sludge disposal as well as it compares sludge disposal in the Czech Republic and in the other states of the EU. It describes a complete waste treatment line and sludge disposal in the area of sludge treatment and disposal. It deals with sludge disintegration and describes the most effective methods of disintegration. The second part of the thesis describes an experimental part of disintegration of waste treatment sludge. An experiment was conducted in the school laboratory in a way of thermal disintegration in the double-surface pressure tank. The disintegration was conducted to temperatures of 60 °C, 90 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C. We monitored dependence of the sludge dry residue content on disintegration temperature as well as content of suspended solids in liquid fraction (FUGAT). It was possible to choose optimal temperature of disintegration in accordance with processed results.

Methods of sewage sludge thermal treatment
Rosendorfová, Lenka ; Pavlas, Martin (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The first part of this diploma thesis targets in the formation of summary of methods of sewage sludge thermal treatment. Sludge is dangerous material rising from water treatment. Original water pollution is concentrated in sludge. Spectrum of the different methods of sludge disposal is very vast, thermal methods belong to the most advanced ones. Nowadays, legislative rules and regulations make more restrictive, hence sludge disposal is problematic because of economic and ecological view of point. The second part of this diploma thesis is dealt with perspective sludge management at the Central Waste Water Treatment Plant Prague concerning sludge drying and consequent sludge incineration.

Biogas plant design
Kocián, Oldřich ; Pěček, Jan (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on possibility of usage biologically decompostable wastes in the biogas plant. The first part of this thesis describes principal production of the manure gas and as well concrete biogas plants, where are shown different approaches and technologies. The main target of the thesis is based on biogas plant design for manipulation with biologically communal wastes from VUT v Brno and chosen parts of Brno. To the proper design of the biogas plant precede evaluation of accesible wastes from choosen localities. Since we consider wastes from households, the way of collection of those wastes is designed. The thesis also consider economic balance and assesment of the biogas plant. Investment costs are predicted, process costs are evaluated and as well profit from selling of the electric energy is consider, profits from charges for manipulation with wastes and profits from selling of compost.

Hydrogen production from renewable sources
Balko, Michal ; Kropáč, Jiří (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to make a summary of actual hydrogen production possibilities both from fossil fuels and from renewable sources. First part deals with production by steam reforming of natural gas and water electrolysis. Next comes the production from biomass by photofermentation and fermentation. Attention is paid especially to input materials and process conditions. In the end chosen processes of production are compared by their energy intensity found out by simplified calculation.

Experimental solar drier of sewage sludge
Širůček, Vojtěch ; Niesner, Jakub (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The master’s thesis is focused on the issue of solar drying of sewage sludge. The sludge management of wastewater treatment plants is described in the first part of this thesis. This theoretical part also deals with description of drying and dryers used for sludge treatment. The second part of the thesis is focused on the experimental solar drying of sewage sludge and the evaluation of the results.

Household fermentor design
Švec, Jan ; Jecha, David (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design a fermentation unit specially adjusted for household operating. Unit processes kitchen and garden biodegradable waste with requirements of low acquisition costs, operating costs and demands of service. Benefits of this unit are production of biogas, which will be utilized in household, and processed of biodegradable waste to nutritious manure. The first part of the work is aimed on description of anaerobic fermentation process and summary of operating conditions. The main part deals with potential of household and garden biodegradable waste for production of biogas and design of fermentation unit. Proposals for biogas utilization and economy of whole project are mentioned.
