Designing advanced clean steam generators
There is a huge commercial opportunity for clean steam production systems. The aim of this project is to overcome sever challenges we currently face including: (i) develop understanding of chloride-related corrosion at higher temperatures, (ii) applying numerical modelling techniques to analyse the thermal and mechanical stresses in the steam equipment, (iii) optimise the design numerically and analytically, (iv) test a scaled-prototype to validate the numerical model, (v) validate the model with an industrial-scale clean steam generator available with the industrial partner.
