Institute

       Thermal Energy Technology Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

 - a research institute of the NAS of Ukraine, which is part of the Division of Physical and Technical Problems of Energy (PTPE) of the NAS of Ukraine.

     The institute is headed by D.Sc. (Eng.), prof. N. I. Dunaievska.       

     The main tasks of the Institute are:

• development of new high-efficiency, environmentally clean technologies for the combustion and gasification of domestic coal for use in Ukraine's energy sector;
• production of synthesis gas and hydrogen using gasification and pyrolysis processes of solid fuels;
• thermochemical processing of traditional and alternative fuels for energy, hydrogen and synthetic fuels, chemical synthesis products;
• energy use of biomass and other alternative fuels, fuel mixtures, use of hydrogen and ammonia energy;
• purification of exhaust gases of thermal power plants from emissions of pollutants.

The institute has more than five scientific departments and laboratories. Research is conducted in the following main areas:

• kinetics of combustion and gasification processes of solid fuels, including under pressure; 
• studying the dynamics of fuel particle pyrolysis; developing processes in various modifications of fluidized beds, including circulating fluidized beds; 
• physical and technical foundations of cleaning processes for combustion and gasification products from sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and dust;
• mathematical modeling of energy processes; creating new analytical and diagnostic equipment for monitoring high-temperature processes and many others.
