Combustion facilities

Combustion and emissions

The combustion and emission research carried out includes studies on fine particle formation, ash behaviour and emissions in biomass combustion, engine emissions, emission reduction technologies and combustion aerosol sampling systems. Common research interests are measurement and analysis techniques, computational modeling of fluid and particle systems and health effects of fine particles. Health and climate effects of combustion aerosols are studied together with research partners in ILMARI research unit. In addition, small-scale combustion appliances and their emissions are studied in SIMO wood combustion simulator.
