Říha, Kamil ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Pařízek, Tomáš (advisor)
Thermal processing of wastes is a metod, when during combustion occur reduction of wastes till 10% previous volume. The main advantage of this method is possibility to heat utilization for heat and electric production. Through thermic process develops range of pollutants (NOx, CO, SO2, HCl, HF, PCDD/F) that had to be remove from off-gas or reduced to enviromental values in agreement with laws in force [16]. For this purpose are combustion units equip with range of devices for removing this pollutans. The main task of this diploma thesis is selectoin of ctirical device in term of pressure drops. The value of pressure drop stands significant part in proposition of efficiecy off-gas fan. In increase or decrease total pressure drop consumption of electrical energy of off-gas fan is rising or going down. Change of consumption in total classification is projecting in energy utilization rate of waste where is determinate if it stands of energy utilizatoin or just incineration. In first part of diploma thesis are described in detail availability methods of off-gas cleaning where is described their principle, advanteges, disadvatages and comparison of effectivity. In second part of diploma thesis is made example model about influnce technology on value of total pressure drop. There were chosen two technologies for removing dioxins (technology of catalytic filtration REMEDIA and DeNox/DeDiox). For both technologies were made detailed analysis of pressure drops single components of these technologies. Attainment results were compared and rated with one another. For analysis these two methods were designed mathematical process in software Maple 9.5.

Concepts of an integrated equipment for waste-to-energy units
Petrasová, Zuzana ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with design modifications of the investigated industrial „waste-to-energy“ unit and possible deployment of modern integrated equipment instead of existing devices that would reduce economic demands and improve environmental impacts of thermal treatment of gaseous waste in order to increase thermal efficiency. Within the considered modifications, possible modifications of the process according to current technological trends are presented. For all solved devices, investment costs were determined according to the price offers of suppliers in accordance with professional literature, which deals with the economic aspect during the phase of synthesis and selection of the most suitable concept from the investor's point of view. The Venture Profit is used as a measure of the profitability of a given operation to evaluate individual modifications. The output of the thesis is to determine the optimum modification for the process based on the mentioned criteria.

Evaluating and modeling of fouling process in heat exchanger
Čirka, Martin ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis discusses fouling processes and mechanisms of industrial heat exchangers, with focus on shell side fouling of heat transfer area by flue gases, and eventually taking fouling into account, or more precisely its modeling and predicting by calculation. Thermal-hydraulic design of heat exchanger is focused mainly on shell side, as flue gases are dominant process medium in terms of fouling and heat transfer. Based on available operational data of evaluated industrial heat exchanger, specific process has been developed to determine by calculation, or more precisely predict change of fouling factor throughout operational period of heat exchanger. Usage and various options of this specific calculation technique are being discussed in conclusion, whether there is a potential to use this technique regarding more complex operational inputs or prediction of fouling process for different operational regime of heat exchanger.

Solving of off-gas cooling system for removing contained solvents
Blažek, Pavel ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with searching of the most appropriate solution of air mass cooling to clear away contained solvents. The solution is based on real and operated pharmaceutical unit. The cooling system is solved as systém of three tubular heat exchangers. In the first heat exchanger the air mass is cooled down by water, in the second by ice-cold water and brine R32 is used for cooling in the third heat exchanger. Heat exchanger system is solved for cooling the air mass which results in condensation of contained solvent – acetone.

Experimental support for the development of specific integrated equipment
Hrbáček, Jiří ; Jegla, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (advisor)
Regenerative heat exchangers are used in a wide range of industries and in the technical equipment of buildings. These heat exchangers play an important role in saving thermal energy and removing volatile organic compounds from flue gases. The theoretical part of the work deals with the division of regenerative exchangers into rotary and switching exchangers and the possibilities of their use. These types of heat exchangers are used in many applications, e.g. as a heat exchanger using waste heat to preheat the process gas (regeneration layer), or as catalysts to accelerate the reaction required to remove volatile organic compounds (catalytic layer), or as integrated equipment where both the regeneration layer and the catalytic layer. The aim of the diploma thesis is experimental support in the development of a computer program for the design of a specific integrated device. The program allows the calculation of the regeneration and catalytic bed, or both beds simultaneously, i.e. integrated equipment. The diploma thesis deals with the support of a mathematical model for the calculation of the regeneration bed. Pressure loss and heat transfer play an important role in the selection and subsequent calculation of a suitable bed. To calculate them, it is possible to find more available computational relationships that differ significantly in their accuracy. It is therefore necessary to select the most suitable ones for the computational model. The practical part of the work then deals with research, analysis, and assessment of the suitability of methods used to calculate pressure losses based on a comparison with the values measured on experimental equipment. Subsequently, the work deals with computational methods for determining the heat transfer coefficient of the packed bed. A significant part of the practical part deals with the modification of the experimental equipment for the verification of computational relations for the determination of heat transfer with measured data.

The use of gas microturbines as a primary unit in CHP is still weak in the industrial process. It gives the driving force to the main aim of this master thesis, which is the technical and economic evaluation of the gas microturbines waste heat recovery system, which is the key factor for their economic sustainability. Assignment contains description of CHP system that was gradually built in LENP laboratory, part of NETME Centre. The author has joined the final work before start-up of the CHP system. He presents and describes results of the first experiments on this unit. The flue gas of a microturbine was used for heating water by heat exchanger flue gas–water and for direct linen drying. The case study of laundry with capacity 10 tons per shift was developed in cooperation with companies in laundry care. Results of those tests were used to process integration and utilization of this professional industrial laundry All obstacles found and opportunities of the use of microturbines are comprehensively described and tested in case studies, which are simulated in Chemstation Chemcad Software. Results of the thesis are expected to be useful these fields: the use of gas microturbines in industry & energy savings in industrial laundries.
