Publication - Flame Research Tunnel Furnace
CETC Number 2008-23 / 2007-11-28 Abstract CanmetENERGY’s flame research tunnel furnace, was conceived as a versatile facility for the study of combustion aerodynamics, burner performance, and the characterization of pollutants in relation to flame properties and of heat transfer from flames. The furnace, designed for a thermal input of 0.7 MW (2.5 GJ/h), is 4.25 m long and one metre in diameter. See HTML Version of Document Download Full Document (, 160,8 KB) ...

Publication - New Measurement Methodology for Fine Particulate Matter
CETC Number 2008-32 / 2007-04-19 Abstract Background The 2000 Canada Wide Standards for particulate matter (PM) and ozone introduced for the first time limits for ambient concentrations of very fine particulate matter, known as PM 2.5 and PM 10 . These are the particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 mm and 10 mm, respectively. They are also included in the Priority Substances List (PSL) and the Criteria Air Contaminants list of the National Pollution Release Inventory ...

Publication - Gasification Research
CETC Number 2008-26 / 2007-04-16 Abstract CanmetENERGY houses Canada’s foremost R&D facility in the field of gasification. Gasification technologies represent the next generation of solid feedstock based energy production systems. Gasification breaks down virtually any carbon based feedstock into its basic constituents. This enables the separation of pollutants and greenhouse gases to produce clean gas for efficient electricity generation, production of chemicals, hydrogen and clean ...
