1 18 th IFRF Members' Conference Flexible and clean fuel conversion in industry Kardinal Döpfner Haus in Freising Freising, Germany, 1, 2, 3 June ifrf.net The 18 th IFRFF Members Conference is to be organised by the Technical University of Munich together with IFRF headquarters. This is the first IFRFF Members Conference organised in Germany and will be held in the superb venuee of Freising Kardinal Döpfner Haus just north of Munich International Airport. Theme Greenhouse gas emission and climate change are the issues most affecting the combustion industry today. They have led to renewed interest in optimisation of combustion systems to increase thermal efficiency, in technologies for carbon sequestration, and the use of alternative energy sources such as biomasss and biofuels as well as renewable energy sources such as solar. The issues have a direct impact on fuel conversion processes in many of domestic and industrial applications, such as district heating and cooling, electricity production, iron/steel/aluminium making, glass making, petrochemicals refining, cement production and lime and minerals processing. The increasing share of renewable energy sources in electricity production has changed the role of conventional fossil power stations all over Europe. An increasingly large share of conventional power generation capable of high load flexibility has to balance fluctuating power production from wind and photovoltaics in short and medium time scales. This role is expected to become more important in the long term. To accommodate to this role flexible power plants should demonstratee a high load change capability, short start up times and low minimumm loads. A minimum load as low as possible allows the operator to keep the power station in operation in order to provide secondary control power and to be ready for a fast load increase. Combustion systems are playing and will continue to play a key role in the development of flexible power generation. As an example, combustion systemss with stable combustion at reduced loads while still meeting the demands of complete combustion and low emissions are needed.

2 Other industries such as refining, metal production, glass, cement and mineral processing are subject to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Productivity and the quality of the product are getting more crucial. Also, the use of lower grades of fuels and oxygen enhanced conditions create new challenges for those industries. On top of those challenges there are ongoing ones such as primary and secondary measures for tackling nitrogen oxides, acid gases, dioxins, VOCs, PAHs, heavy metals and particulate matter. In this context, the role of industrial, semi industrial and pilot experimental tests and trials is crucial in enabling technology transfer, as it facilitates testing and optimization of industrial combustion systems. The IFRF has been in existence since 1948 as a centre of excellence for industry orientated research into combustion science. Our 18 th Members Conferencee aims to bring to bear on the contemporary combustion issues described above the full weight of our Members knowledge, expertise and experience. Simultaneous sly, and in keeping with established IFRF tradition, our conference will offer plentiful opportunities to share experiences on large scale industrial heating processes and to contribute to spreading best available technologies and practices among all represented industrial sectors. In addition to sessions dealing with the whole range of industrial heating processes, the conferencee will incorporate an Oxy fuel Workshop organised in liaison with the EU FP7 Relcom Project. The workshop will bring together results from a number of EU and US research projects looking at diverse aspects of oxy fuel combustion in the contextt of carbon capture and storage. This workshop will be held in parallel to the main conference sessions during Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. The structure of the conference is shown below. Monday 1 st June Tuesday 2 nd June Wednesday 3 rd June MC Sessions MC Session Oxy fuel MC Session Workshop MC Sessions Oxy fuel Workshop Topics for discussion Flexibility of combustion systems Gasification of coal and biomass Fuel characterizat tion: including bio, fossil, secondary fuels Ash/mineral matter and related problems Oxygen combustion and other technologies for carbon capture and storage New combustion concepts and their application Ultra low NOx boilers, furnaces and heaters for different applications Flame to flame interaction when retrofitting low NOx burners Heat flux profiles in furnaces or boilers when retrofitting low NOx burners. Matching for new/revamped/upgraded applications: flame and combustion chamber matching for new or revamped furnaces; burner boiler matching for new or upgraded boilers Air pollution control techniques for industrial combustion systems Flare performancee and technology for oil and gas and other sectors Combustion modelling validation and uncertainties quantification (comprehensivee codes and sub models) Diagnostics and in flame measurement techniques

Special Sponsorship packages are also on offer. Podium Sessions Breakout Sessions Poster Sessions Sponsors Exhibition Session Invited Keynote Lectures Presentations of the results of the Members Research Programmes undertaken at the IFRF over the last triennial. 20 minute presentations from IFRF Members in all fields relating to industrial combustion. A series of workshops to discuss specific topics of interest for smaller groups of members. The themes for these topics will be selected to reflect the nature of the papers submitted by members, as well as the themes proposed for the IFRF core Members Research Programme over the next three years. In addition, the parallel sessions of Oxy fuel Workshop will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Delegates, particularly postgraduate students, who are not presenting in the podium sessions, may present and discuss their work in progress in poster format. These sessions, which will run in parallel with the poster sessions, offer to Sponsors the opportunity to showcase examples of their products/services to the participants. Display boards will be available along with tables for any samples or computer demonstrations. Pleasee contact Tomasz Klajny ( info@ifrf.net) to discover how to leverage this event to your organisation s advantage. Sponsors wishing to instal/ /erect their own display boards should also discusss their needs with Tomasz. Copies of papers presented will be distributed to all participants in an electronic version. Selected authors will be invited to submit their paper for full refereeing with a view to publication in the IFRF Journal Industrial Combustion.
