GRATECAL WTE 1.5D – Numerical tool for simulation of solid fuel combustion in grate-fired furnaces

What is GRATECAL WTE 1.5D?

It is simulation software for prediction of solid fuel combustion in grate furnaces.

• It numerically solves heat and mass transfer within a solid fuel bed
• It analyses thermal conversion of the solid fuel bed including evaporation, pyrolysis, char oxidation and homogenous reactions
• It enables two-way coupling with an external CFD code for an iterative solution of combustion in a grate-fired furnace

 

The development of this software was funded by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under project No. TE02000236 “Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Competence Centre”.
