New MSc Programme Started in China
A full MSc programme on chemical and Biochemical Engineering, with focus on Biomass, is launched in Beijing, China. The programme offers Danish and Chinese students the possibility of obtaining a dual degree from DTU and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS).

Measuring Campaigns at Grate Boilers:Fly Ash and Deposit Chemistry• Haslev and Slagelse CHPs (probe), 1994 • Rudkøbing CHP (probe + mature), 1995• Masnedø CHP (probe + mature), 1996-1997, 2000-2002
• Maribo-Sakskøbing CHP (mature), 2001, 2004
• Probe deposits: short term [~ 2-10 hours] exposure of cooled probes (finger print chemistry)
• Mature deposits: In-boiler, long term [~ 103 hours] exposed deposits (real chemistry, including chemical reaction sintering)

Concluding remarks
• Cl, K and S cause severe operational problems in biomass fired boilers for heat and power production, especially deposition, corrosion, agglomeration and aerosol emissions
• Co-firing biomass and coal can significantly reduce the operational problems
• Application of right additives may be the other solution
• Biomass to power through gasification
