  1. Institute of Processand Environmental Engineering Brno University of Technology Technická 2896/2 616 69 Brno Czech Republic tel: +420 541 142 373 fax: +420 541 142 373 e-mail: stehlik@fme.vutbr.cz web: www.upei.fme.vutbr.cz

  2. Structure The Institute is structured into groups, covering the following areas of research and development: • nonthermal waste treatment • alternative fuels • energy systems and simulations • thermal waste treatment • gasification • heat exchangers • experimental research and process control • experimental research of combustion systems • modelling, CFD and optimisation • equipment design • LCA and process integration

  3. Experimental facilitiesSoftware systems and modelling • Experimental facilities enabling: • burner testing • research in the area of waste-to-energy • research of flue gas cleaning systems • research of the properties and utilisation of sludge • Commercial systems used for teaching, research and development: • FLUENT • Solidworks • ANSYS • CHEMCAD • MAPLE • Development of new computational systems: • WTE (Waste-to-Energy)

  4. Study • Bachelor’s study programme • Master’s study programme • Doctoral study programme

  15. CooperationContacts with foreign partners • The Institute cooperates in applied research with Czech and multinational companies like e.g. KOCH-GLITSCH, UNIS, ABB Lummus Global, Procter & Gamble. • Close cooperation with other faculties of the BUT (mainly chemical, civil and information technology faculties), universities and institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Some examples: • UoM – University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UK) • University of Maryland (USA) • CERTH/CPERI - Centre for Research and Technology – Hellas (Greece) • ABB Lummus Heat Transfer (The Netherlands, USA) • Universität Dortmund (Germany) • Kharkov State Polytechnic University (Ukrajine) • W. L. GORE & Associates (USA, Germany) • Polytechnic University of Bucharest (Romania) • Phosphoric Fertilizers Industry s.a. (Greece)

  16. Offer of collaboration Offer of cooperation and services for research and commercial partners in the following areas: • Burner testing • Flue gas cleaning system design • Design and calculation of non-conventional heat exchangers • Energy and material analyses of processing units (e.g. sludge treatment units of wastewater treatment plants) • Technical emission measurements including dioxins • Strength calculations • Conceptual design of processes and equipment • Energy availability analyses
