TY - RPRT TI - JALO - Fuel conversion. Final report on the energy research programme 1988-1992 AB - The Finnish research programme on fuel conversion, JALO, was concerned with thermo-chemical conversion of spent pulping liquors, peat, wood, and industrial residues. The aim of the programme was to develop innovative power plants based on integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC). The research activity was carried out within 13 projects and focused, in particular, on fundamentals of thermochemical conversion technologies as well as on laboratory and pilot tests. In addition, development work was carried out within 20 industrial joint-development projects. Experimental and theoretical know-how concerning the new processes was increased significantly and the knowledge was applied in experiments on pressurised gasification pilot rigs. Industrial pilot or demonstration plants are being operated or constructed by Kemira Corporation, A. Ahlstrom Corporation, Imatran Voima Oy and Tampella Power Ltd, and industrial-scale plants are being planned by A. Ahlstrom Corporation, Tampella Power Ltd and Neste Oy. The pressurised test rigs of both the companies and the research institutes are among the first ones of their kind in the world. International research co-operation has been very active within the frameworks of IEA, EU-JOULE and the Nordic Council of Ministers. The next phase of the national energy technology programmes of Ministry of Trade and Industry started from the beginning of 1993 and is scheduled to continue until the end of 1998. Biomass conversion research will be done within BIOENERGY-programme and gasification research within LIEKKI2-programme AU - "Sipilae, K" KW - "09 BIOMASS FUELS" KW - "01 COAL, LIGNITE, AND PEAT" KW - "GASIFICATION" KW - "COORDINATED RESEARCH PROGRAMS" KW - "BIOMASS" KW - "SPENT LIQUORS" KW - "PEAT" KW - "WOOD" KW - "COMBINED CYCLES" KW - "PRESSURIZATION" KW - "COGENERATION" KW - "REFUSE DERIVED FUELS" KW - "PAPER INDUSTRY" KW - "LIQUID FUELS" KW - "090900" KW - "010404" KW - "PROCESSING" DO - https://doi.org/ UR - PB - CY - Finland PY - 1994 DA - 1994-12-31 LA - English J2 - [] VL - C1 - Ministry of Trade and Industry, Helsinki (Finland).
