Refuse Derived Fuel
Exnerová, Anežka ; Kalivodová, Markéta (referee) ; Lachman, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the Waste-to-Energy topic focusing on refuse derived fuels. The aim of the first part is to describe what refuse derived fuels are, what are their properties and composition. From this point of view, we determine a comparison with municipal solid waste. Second part is about production process. Possible parameters of refuse derived fuels and the technological process of mechanical-biological treatment are presented here. Following part is focused on fuel combustion. This chapter lists combustion plants and emissions from the incineration of waste and refuse derived fuel.

Methods of Determination of Moisture Content
Bezdíček, Jiří ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Lisá, Hana (advisor)
With the growing interest in the energy use of biomass in the form of solid biofuels, the requirements for determining the moisture content of these fuels are also growing. Moisture is an important factor not only in the production of biofuels, where the moisture values must be ideal, eg in the production of pellets, but also in storage and other processes. The aim of the work was to determine the suitability of methods for determining moisture for various types of solid biofuels. The main subject of interest was fuels with grain structure. A search of the basic distribution of fuels and introduced and new methods for determining moisture was performed. The research was focused on oven drying methods. The result is the determination of the unsuitability of the method of drying scales for fuels with grain structure, the suitability of all investigated methods for wood fuels, the accuracy of the reference method for most fuels and the susceptibility of the analytical method to the homogeneity of the test portion.

Fast pyrolysis reactors
Fencl, Jonáš ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Elbl, Patrik (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is a description of a fast pyrolysis process, its products and technologies based on the principle of fast pyrolysis using biomass as a fuel. In the first part of the thesis biomass and its energetical usage is described. The second part focuses on a charachteristics and history of pyrolysis. The third part describes fast pyrolysis process, convertion to bio-oil and important process parameters to obtain maximum liquid yield. Furthermore, single components obtained from the fast pyrolysis process and their usage is described. The fourth part describes types of fast pyrolysis reactors, their advantages and disadvantages. At last, the largest pyrolysis units operating in practice are described.

Negative impact of renewable energy sources
Kleinová, Martina ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Sitek, Tomáš (advisor)
The main focus of this work was to delve deeper into the issue of renewable energy. Firstly, we have looked at the different types in general and their characteristics, but in particular we have focused on the negative impacts they bring. Since renewable energy sources are our future, it is necessary to become familiar with their potential, possible shortcomings, the degree of severity of these problems and possible solutions. In the last part of the thesis, we looked at the use of renewables in the Czech Republic and evaluated the current policy and energy market.

Possibilities of using biomass for home heating
Jurák, Matúš ; Linda, Jakub (referee) ; Lachman, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with pellets and agropellets and their combustion, where main attention is given to emissions and their efficiency. Thesis consists of two parts. First part is theoretical, which consists of shown types of biomass, their properties and emissions created during combustion. The second part is experimental and its task is to compare efficiency and emissions created during combustion

Design of heat pump
Daxner, Ján ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Toman, Filip (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design the main components of the heat pump on the basis of specified parameters. The first theoretical part is an introduction to the problem of heat pumps. It describes types of heat pumps, energy sources and their advantages and disadvantages. In the second calculation part, the calculation was performed according to the entered parameters on the basis of which the heat pump components were suitably selected.

Waste Gasification
Sedláček, Tomáš ; Elbl, Patrik (referee) ; Lachman, Jakub (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with the topic of waste gasification. The first part includes the definition of waste with the focus on municipal solid waste, its evaluation as fuel on the basis of its contents and properties, in this case the heating value. Eventually the waste is compared with other normally used solid fuels. The second part presents and describes the thermal processes applied to waste-to-energy technologies, where the gasification is explained in more detail, its final products, the content of contaminants in these products and their removal. The next part deals with technologies used for waste gasification. The last part deals with the issue of waste gasification in the Czech republic.

Design of heating system for family house
Houzar, Filip ; Elbl, Patrik (referee) ; Lachman, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with ways of family house heating. This thesis aimed to choose a suitable heating system for a specific family house. The first part of the thesis deals with a search of commonly used heat sources. This part contains a description of the work of these heat sources and their pros and cons. The following part introduces a specific family house, and the calculation of heat loss and annual heat consumption is performed. Then, three proposals are selected, for which the costs of their operation and return are calculated. At the end of the thesis, the proposals are compared and evaluated from an economic point of view. Based on this comparison, the most suitable proposals are selected, and the conclusions are commented on.
