- Additional information
- EPSRC (EP/M015300/1) funded research was undertaken following collaborative work with Tata Steel (EP/G060053/1) to better utilise flared by-product gases (1-2 Mtonnes/year CO2 from UK, DECC 2014), and demonstrates for the first time that limited water addition can stabilise applied combustion of by-product fuel, leading to a compound reduction in harmful emissions (>75% NOx), corroborated by intermediate chemical kinetic simulations using a mechanism developed by Cardiff. This research supported the development of new power-plant, announced by the Manager of Energy Research at Tata steel and Welsh Government, to utilise by-product gases, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-35042144, https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/30-million-ploughed-tata-steelworks-13700466.
