Seospellettien pienpoltto

This work is a part of Vapos research over mixed pellets. In this work combustion of ten different mixed pellets are examined. This is done by two kinds of tests, burning tests and ash melting tests. First there is a short review how different bio fuels burn and what kind of problems they cause. After this burning characteristics and flue gas calculation methods are acquainted. In test part burning tests and ash melting tests and their results are reported. Lastly conclusions and considerations over further study are done.

Hapettavan BIMODES-mikrobientorjuntamenetelmän vaikutukset paperikoneella

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of oxidising BIMODES microbiological control program on three paper machine process. The chemicals used in BIMODES program are sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and bromo-chloro-di-methyl-hydantoin (BCDMH). The literary part of this study discusses the microbiological problems in paper making industry, describes functional mechanisms of oxidants and also introduces the BIMODES- program. In the experimental part the aim was to examine the effects of BIMODES in three different paper machines. The purpose was to find out the effects and changes in wet end chemistry, bacterial counts, in the other additives and also in the sheet defects and holes. The study also examines what are the most important measurements to control BIMODES dosing. In addition the optimal dosing level for each machine was tried to find out. It was found that there is a clear correlation between the total chlorine level and bacterial counts. Changes in the BIMODES dosing level can be measured by redox potential, but the correlation is very poor. BIMODES program doesn’t have straight influence to pH values, but if dosage level is too low the bacterial activity can affect degreasing in the pH value. In this study couldn’t find any consequential effects for the other additives by using BIMODES. In addition the optimal dosing levels were found and by following correct halogen levels it is possible to decrease bacterial levels for very low level.
