The Laboratory of Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants has been working for the last 30 years on:

• The examination of phenomena which affect and determine the process of combustion in furnaces of conventional and non-conventional steam boilers
• The formation of pollutants and the technologies for their reduction.
• The examination of heat transfer phenomena on the exchange surfaces of steam boilers.
• The testing and checking of heating systems as for their efficiency and their exhaust gas quality.
• The energy saving from Thermal Power Plants.
• The development of new technologies and combustion systems such as the burning in a Fluidised Bed
• The prediction and coping with problems through the computational simulation of flow fields, of transfer and combustion phenomena.
• The energetic use of biomass (combustion, gasification)
• Fuel cell technology
• Novel technologies for CO₂ capture in power production sector
• Hydrogen use in energy production
