About us
Division of Boilers and Steam Generators, as one of the few country research centres, comprehensively deals with boiler technology issue, beginning with calculating and constructing, through assessing design or modernisation and ending with optimising operation procedures.
Division’ scope of work concerns, among other things, the modernisation concept aiming at efficiency and reliability equipment improvement, along with existing boilers adaptation to combustion especially low-quality fuels – agricultural and alternative fuels as well, towards the implementation of European environmental policy assumptions. That requires the constant development of corrosion or slagging and fouling prevention methods, together with harmful compounds emission reduction.
The experience gained during numerous tests and measurements, performed in existing industry facilities, allows of devices’ technical condition assessment along with their durability forecasting and, moreover, issuing expertise on boilers and auxiliary equipment.
