1 Design new flue gas condenser

Suitable for BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy

HoSt Thermal Technology B.V. realises projects in which fuel is converted into renewable energy. A flue gas condenser can increase the overall efficiency of the plant by extracting additional heat from the flue gas. The objective of this assignment is to develop a new design for the flue gas condenser.

Your tasks:

• Familiarise with all components and the main design of a biomass plant;

• Study and evaluate existing flue gas condenser systems;  

• Make a design for the new flue gas condenser;

• Produce the required calculations, drawings, and report;

• Present the new design within the team.

2 Boiler ash removal system

Suitable for BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy

HoSt Thermal Technology B.V. realises projects in which fuel is converted into renewable energy. Boiler ash is automatically removed from the boiler by screws, but sometimes some blockages occur. Main goal of this assignment is to improve the design of the ash removal of the boiler.  

Your tasks:

• Familiarise with all components and the main design of a biomass plant;

• Study and evaluate existing boiler ash removal system;  

• Improve the design of the boiler ash removal system;

• Produce the required drawings and report;

• Present the new design within the team.

3 Calculation tools

Suitable for BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering / Chemical Engineering / Sustainable Energy

HoSt Thermal Technology B.V. realises projects in which fuel is converted into renewable energy. During the design phase of projects, several basic and detailed calculations are made. Main goal of this assignment is to produce new design tools or extend existing design tools to support our engineers.      

Your tasks:

• Familiarise with all components and the main design of a biomass plant;

• Study and evaluate existing calculation methods and sheets;  

• Develop/improve calculation tools, special focus shall be on the heat- and material balance, flow, and pressure (drop) calculations;

• Produce the required calculations, drawings, and report;

• Present the new design within the team.

4 High pressure sootblowing

Suitable for BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering / Chemical Engineering / Sustainable Energy

HoSt Thermal Technology B.V. realises projects in which fuel is converted into renewable energy. The availability of plants is increased by automatic air or steam sootblowing systems, which clean the boiler. Main goal of this assignment is to design a high pressure sootblowing system for hot water boilers.       

Your tasks:

• Familiarise with all components and the main design of a biomass plant;

• Study and evaluate existing sootblowing systems;  

• Design a high pressure sootblowing system;

• Produce the required drawings, and report;

• Present the new design within the team.

Who are you?
