Technical report on progress and achievements for 2022
Šyc, Michal ; Grolig, O. ; Přemyslovský, P. ; Pařízek, V.
The response of the research base has sparked interest in validating more advanced mercury separation techniques from flue gas than BAT. These techniques maintain the existing fuel base and focus on the wet scrubbing process of acid gases. The Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals has developed an original electro-separation technology of the soluble form of mercury from the wet limestone slurry, where the process simultaneously oxidizes the metallic mercury to achieve the desired capture.

Effect of ESP on distribution and chemical composition of particles from biomass combustion
Preisler, Lukáš ; Köbölová, Klaudie (referee) ; Adamec, Vladimír (advisor)
Biomass combustion causes a significant number of particles that, released into the atmosphere, negatively affect human health. Knowledge of the size and composition of the particles is essential for possible flue gas separation by electrostatic precipitation technology. This technology is developed and used in large power plants, but the electrostatic precipitation in domestic boilers is rare. This work describes the methods of fine particle formation and their size distribution and composition. Measurement methods of chemical composition and the size distribution are provided. According to a review, the effect of electrostatic precipitator on size distribution and chemical composition is discussed. In the experimental part, fine particles were sampled from the flue gas of a domestic wood pellet boiler containing an experimental electrostatic precipitator. Due to operational reasons, the electrostatic precipitator did not run during sampling. Flue gas condensed on the inner surface of the flue. The particles were sampled on filters at the beginning and the end of the flue. The filter was analyzed on an electron microscope.

Operational efficiency of gas boilers
Marčiš, Šimon ; Vyhlídalová, Karolína (referee) ; Počinková, Marcela (advisor)
This master’s thesis elaborates a design of water heating and heating system for a building of a rehabilitation center in Horný Hričov. The theoretical section describes operational efficiency of gas boilers and associated calculation methods. The experimental section covers measurements of condensing gas boiler at various temperatures of heating water conducted in university laboratory. Operational efficiency was then calculated using indirect method based on the measurement results. Subsequently, calculated values and values measured by an operational efficiency analyzer were compared. The comparison revealed minor deviations in operational efficiency values and different values of condensing heat utilization between the calculations and the analyzer results. The analytical section of the thesis consists of complex designs of two versions of the heating system and the water heating. The first design version uses condensing gas boilers as a heat source while the second version uses a water-air heat pump instead. The project section of the thesis is executed in the scope for a building permit and consists of a technical report and a design documentation.

Usage of flue gas as a source of CO2 for algae cultivation in bioreactors
Slonek, Jaroslav ; Juřena, Tomáš (referee) ; Brummer, Vladimír (advisor)
This master`s thesis is focused on possibility of use of flue gas as source of CO2 for algae cultivation in bioreactors. The first part of the master`s thesis is devoted to a qualitative and quantitative description of flue gas sources as CO2 source for algae cultivation. In the thesis industry sectors with the largest share of CO2 emissions on a global scale and in the Czech republic are summarized. On the basis of these data it was possible to determine cheap sources of CO2 for algae cultivation producing valuable biomass and other bio-products. The composition of flue gas from these sources was discussed in this section also with given expected outlook within the following years. The next part of the thesis is devoted to the influence of flue gas properties on algae cultivation. The impact of flue gas individual parameters on cell growth rate, quality and composition of biomass is described there. The description and design of the bioreactor is processed in the next part of the thesis. The experimental part of the thesis was performed on a bioreactor with similar properties. The next part of the thesis describes the effect of light on algae cultivation and the design of a regulation scheme for bioreactor light source. The experimental part of the thesis describes methods used to determine the concentrations of flue gas substances that could pass from flue gas into cultivation medium for algae cultivation to measure the changing composition of the flue gas in the closed experimental bioreactor system. The processed data from experimental measurements are presented and are discussed. The change in the composition of the culture medium for algae (without the presence of algae) due to flue gas aeration was monitored in the experimental part. It includes also the measurement of the change in the composition of the flue gas in time. All obtained and collected information are then summarized and discussed in the final part of the master`s thesis.

Technology to remove sulfur oxides (NOx) from flue gases for large combustion plants
Hrubý, Radomír ; Bojanovský, Jiří (referee) ; Jecha, David (advisor)
In the specified large combustion plant, fuel with a large content of sulfur is burned. The current desulfurisation method is not able to meet the new emission limits, therefore it is necessary to design an adequate desulphurisation method. The theoretical part of this diploma thesis contains a description of the legislation related to emission limits for large combustion plants and an analysis of individual technological methods of desulphurization together with a description of the relevant sorbents. The practical part of the work contains a design of dry conditioned sorption with the using of a calcium-based sorbent. The basic technological and structural design is designed together with the spatial solution and dispositional solution of the whole technology.
