The FLEXI-BURN project for developing clean coal technology held the project kick off meeting on the 3rd and 4th September in Katowice, Poland, hosted by PKE (Poludniowy Koncern Energetyczny). The meeting was supplemented by a tour of the power station at Lagisza.
The FLEXI-BURN project (which includes Foster Wheeler, CIUDEN, Praxair, Endesa, PKE, VTT and Siemens Energy among others) for the development of high efficiency CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) technology with flexible air/oxygen operation and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) for power plant underwent the inaugural meeting of the project to establish the roles of the consortium members who all provided detailed presentations. ADEX emphasised the challenges of precise control for achieving success in the project and is firmly positioned to establish ADEX optimised control technology as a key enabler in this area.
