1. What is the purpose of combustion?

• Introduction in the form of a game, and presentation of the course objectives.
• Use of combustion in the world: key figures

2. Definitions of combustion

• Richness, stoichiometry, adiabatic temperature, propagation speed, etc.
• The components of a burner.

3. Combustion for industry

• Manufacturing/non-manufacturing processes.
• Associated constraints.
• Examples of burners for each process.

4. Different fuels

• Gaseous.
• Liquid.
• Solid.
• Balancing exercise, burner design, impact of a fuel change.

Break

5. Pollutants

• NOx, SOx, particles, Abatement methods, BREF.

6. Some burners and associated processes in detail, their constraints

• Flares
• Manufacturing furnaces (glass, metal, non-ferrous).
• Boilers.
• Process furnaces (Focus on SMR).

7. Oxy-combustion

• The concept.
• Constraints.
• Concrete examples.

8. CO2, CCUS

• A mapping of emissions, taxation.
• CCUS, concept and storage basins.

9. Energy efficiency

• Heat recovery: regeneration, recovery, HRSG, WHRU, ORC.
• Flare gas recovery: FGRS.

10. Alternatives

• Electrification.
• Biomass.
• Hydrogen as fuel.
