Pilot scale test facilities

The following facilities are available for experimental investigations at pilot scale:

• Pilot scale test facility BIO-COOL
  In the pilot scale test facility BIO-COOL, cooling energy can be produced on basis of liquid fuel combustion. In the furnace of this test facility, combustion tests with a variety of liquid and gaseous fuels can be conducted.
• 200 kW_th pilot scale plant MAGNUS
  The pilot scale test facility MAGNUS consists of three fluidized bed reactors that can be flexibly coupled to each other. This allows the investigation of innovative fluidized bed processes for combustion, gasification and CO₂ capture in an industrially relevant environment.
• Dual circulating atmospheric fluidised bed facility (DIVA/ELWIRA)
  The electrically heated fluidized bed test facility DIVA/ELWIRA can be used flexibly for combustion, gasification and CO₂ capture research.
• Pulverised fuel combustion rig (KSVA)
  The pulverized fuel combustion rig (KSVA) is a pilot scale test facility (500 kW_th) for investigations of the thermal conversion of pulverized fuels.
• Fixed bed combustion
  Grate firing system (ROFEA) and Test fields for domestic firing systems
