Abstract

The chair Energy and Environmental Technologies of the Food Industry operates a small cogeneration plant with the ability of analyzing the standard emission components (CO, NO2, CO, HC, particles, CO2, O2) and other components [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), aldehyde, ketone]. The emissions show some significant differences in comparison to fossil diesel fuel, which is caused by the diversity of each fuel. Results of an investigation on five different biofuels burned in a power plant with oxidationand SCR catalysts will be presented. A comparison to the emissions before and after the oxidation catalyst will be shown additionally to the results of the different conversion potential of diesel, methyl ester, or different untreated oils.
