KAMAG 105G023) Gebze

Client: EIE (Elektrik İşleri Etüd İdaresi) OGM (Orman Genel Müdürlüğü.)

Project Executers: MAM (Marmara Araştırma Merkezi), METU, GAMA

Project Duration: 3 years–(September2008-September2011)

Partners: TUBITAK, METU, GAMA

It is financed by TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council)

It is managed by Middle East Technical University, Environment Engineering Department.

TUBITAK Marmara Research Centre (MAM) and GAMA are executive institutions.

GD of Forestry and GD of Electrical Affairs are client Institutions of this project.

The aim of the project: multi fuel (biomass / coal) design circulating fluidized bed combusting and gas

cleaning systems for CHP applications.

Existing / Planned system 750 kWt CFB combustion

Laboratory scale fluidized bed combustion:

Feeding capacity: max. 5 kg/h lignite

The combusting behavior of Turkish lignite sand biomass is investigated to produce design data for

pilot scale boiler systems. The emissions from CFB combustion system measured and the reactivity

of various limestone to be used to reduce SO2 emissions and the optimum Ca/S ratio is determined.
