Facility

Brief Description

High-temperature air combustion semi-industrial test facility (HiTAC)

Unique HiTAC research furnace in Europe (500 kW). Extremely flexible operation; fully instrumented. Accompanying research-scale furnace available for complementary studies such as optical measurements.

High-pressure catalytic combustion test facility

Unusually high, industrially representative pressure levels (35 bar) for a catalytic combustion test facility. Various catalyst configurations can be tested at pressures up to 4 bar. Unique one-pass tubular humidifier allows for absolute humidity levels up to 30% (studies related to evaporative gas turbines possible). Shake-down tests currently in progress.
