This master’s thesis deals with the process of biomass gasification using mixture of CO and O2 as gasification agent. First part describes the gasification process itself, used devices, gasification medium and its influence on the generated gas. Following section covers the experimental part of the work, which is focused on change properties of the generated gas using different ratios of CO2, O2, H2O and air in the gasification mixture. This part also includes processing and evaluation of the results.

The subject of the thesis is to design a business plan for the construction of biogas plant in the village Bulhary. The actual work is divided into two main parts. The first part is devoted to theoretical resources of a business plan and theory related to biogas station. The practical part of the thesis applies the theoretical knowledge to create a real business plan.

The purpose of this Diploma Thesis was the construction design of the steam boiler for fytomass. For the specified parameters of biomass have been gradually implemented stoichiometric calculations of which are further based calculation of enthalpies of combustion gas. In the next part have been dealt with heat balance of the boiler, the efficiency of the boiler, recirculation of exhaust gases and the temperature of the combustion gases in outlet from fire. Thereinafter, the proposal of particular heat surfaces of steam boiler was solved, so that the resulting number and size correspond to the desired parameters. The parameters are temperature, pressure and the amount of steam.

Diploma thesis deals with constructional design of an experimental fixed-bed reactor for biomass combustion research. This device is designed to facilitate good control of the combustion process and collection of quality data, particularly temperature, pressure, gas composition and mass loss. Obtained data is for creating mathematical models of combustion of solid biomass in the fixed-bed.

The final thesis deals with the heating plant with piston steam engine design according to heat consumption background in the location of Velky Karlov and with the design of a heating scheme including its explicit parameters. Further on it deals with the possibilities of the heating plant output regulation and with the solution of natural gas and biomass heating plant operations aside the heating period.

The content of this dissertation is to utilize foundations of heat consumption in Velký Karlov and to propose and replace the main district heating plant into the heating plant which uses biomass as its fuel. With techno-economic evaluation of the annual operating central heating plant evaluate the suitability of using a steam turbine or steam engine. The proposal for a steam turbine is chosen by the preliminary calculation. There are showed suitable possibilities of working and its evaluation considered to return period.

First part of this master´s thesis decribes the basic properties of hydrogen, its utilization in industry and economy. Greater attention is focused on the possibilities of hydrogen produciton. Next part describes anaerobic fermentation and optimum conditions for hydrogen production. The main part of the thesis deals with posibility of hydrogen production in an experimental laboratory unit using brewer´s grains as a primary material. The experiment was aimed to find suitable process conditions for hydrogen production. The quantity of produced gas and his quality depending on the amount of brewer´s grains and frequency of the dosage was observed. Based on the experiment, some recommendations are proposed for further research. An automatic feeding system is the most important of them. It will improve the quality of experimental work. A separate chapter is devoted to the automatic feeding system.

This work deals with the creation of a mathematical model for calculating mass and energy balances of the energy units for utilizing the biomass combustion by computational software W2E and it is engaged in necking the validity of the balance model for the real technology unit for combustion different types of biomass. There are presented basic informations of balances and described the procedure how to solve balance calculations of energy units. Introductory part deals with biomass as a renewable energy source, which has a large potential in energy system. There are presented all its important parameters, its types, methods of treatment and utilization power production. Next chapters focus on biomass combustion devices, theirs classification and theirs technological principles. For the specific type of biomass boiler (of capacity 1 MW with movable, inclined grid) - here was created balance model. The choice of this equipment is preferred primarily by the fact that the middle capacity power boilers can be considered as the most suitable heat sources in terms of efficient combustion of biomass. Another motivation is a key objective of this work, which is creation of balance model of the unit which energy utilizes of biomass, which belong into this category of heat sources and is available for real measurements. There are presented the available computing systems for balance modeling with the preference of the analysis program W2E and MS Excel. They are verified as the best instruments for creation balance model at the practical chapter of this work. The main output of presented thesis is thus balance model developed in W2E program which has been compared and modified to the real characteristics of biomass boiler. For this purpose were used the archived data from previous measurements and new actual measurements, which focused on the acquisition of the missing operational data and verifying the reasons of variance of the model and real status. In the conclusion, there are evaluated the basic operating parameters of the technology in various operating states by W2E analysis model.

This thesis deals with the calculation of the boiler on stillage. Nowadays, when there's fossil fuels are just biomass seems adequate compensation. The great advantage of biomass boilers is a small amount of emissions, especially the greenhouse gas CO2. Of a given fuel composition is made thermal calculation and dimensioning of heat transfer surfaces of steam boilers. The resulting calculation must follow the parameters of steam at the outlet from the boiler.

The Master’s thesis deals with the renewable source of energy, namely with the biomass, and its utilisation in the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided in to two parts. The first part of thesis is theoretical. It summarises in form of literature search the general problems concerning the biomass, closely burning biomass. The second part focuses on practical utilisation of biomass and it´s burning in small scale boilers, designated for heating buildings. Boilers are detailed described. Attention is focused on machinery with automatic fuel supply. Four possibilities of improving them are described in last part of thesis. Automatic ignition, air supply, preheating of air and continuous regulation of process.
