Ash-Related Challenges in Sustainable Fuel Use

The basic idea behind this MOOC, is to present recent data on fuel characterization, slagging, fouling, corrosion, and trace element transformations, in a course that can be readily provided for students and industry people. This ensures understanding and application of the research, and provides the students and industry with a forum for discussion of the very latest research results, as well as feedback from industry to the research group at DTU, on important new research subjects in the field

• Explain physical and chemical differences among solid fuels and interpret fuel analyses
• Describe ash element release and formation of aerosols and fly ash transport
• Quantify deposit build-up, sintering, and shedding processes
• Explain high-temperature corrosion fundamentals in fuel conversion
