Digestate Grate Boiler

This master thesis deals with the properties of digestate in combustion, design of construction solution of digestate boiler and experimental verification of boiler parameters. The first chapter deals with the properties of digestate as a fuel. It is followed by a chapter dealing with the existing measured results on a similar boiler. This is followed by a stoichiometric calculation of the digestate boiler. The next chapter is devoted to combustion chamber models. This chapter is followed by a chapter with experimental verification of chamber models and combustion process tuning. The last chapter contains design of construction and operational measures
