As the Project Coordinator, IMP-PAN will oversee the overall management of the project, ensuring that timelines, budgets, and goals are met. With a strong background in flow systems, IMP-PAN will also contribute to various work packages, particularly in experimental investigation of high-temperature heat exchangers and compressor systems. The Institute will collaborate closely with other partners, providing guidance on gas flow controllers, supporting burner operation parameters, and ensuring communication, dissemination, and exploitation of the project’s results.
ULB will lead WP3, bringing their extensive experience in combustion phenomena and MILD (flameless) combustion burners. They will play a pivotal role in the development and construction of a methanol-fueled burner and investigate its operational parameters in collaboration with IMP-PAN. ULB’s expertise will be essential in the numerical simulations of combustion processes and the design of combustion systems that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability.
LEI will lead WP2, applying their in-depth knowledge of experimental research on gasification systems. Their focus will be on the experimental investigation of steam plasma-assisted oxy-gasification, raw gas cleaning, and optimizing the design of experimental systems. LEI will collaborate closely with Qenergy (QE) and others in the design and development of experimental setups that support the research of physicochemical phenomena during gasification.
OVGU will bring their expertise in numerical investigations to the project, particularly supporting WP2 with the development of numerical tools for predicting transport characteristics of non-spherical biomass particles in gasification reactors. Their contribution will enhance the optimization and performance assessment of the gasification process and complement the experimental work conducted by other partners.
Qenergy (QE) will contribute to multiple work packages due to their expertise in gasification systems, combustion systems, and numerical simulations. They will be responsible for optimizing experimental setups, conducting experimental work, and analyzing physicochemical phenomena during gasification. QE will also support WP3 and WP4 with the design and simulation of methanol combustion and experimental system integration. Their extensive experience in numerical investigation will be key for the project’s experimental and analytical aspects.
ETL will provide specialized technical support for experimental work, particularly in the design and construction of a methanol production stand and conducting chemical analyses of syngas composition. They will collaborate closely with IMP-PAN to ensure the proper selection and testing of gas flow controllers. ETL’s input will be crucial in designing control systems and measurement systems for experimental stands, particularly in WP4, where they will support the heat exchanger and compressor system testing.
