Tomas Leffler’s research focuses on alkali chlorine-related problems occurring during the combustion of complex renewable fuels in circulating fluidized bed boilers (CFB). He primarily works with ilmenite, a bed material used in the concept of Oxygen Carrier Aided Combustion (OCAC). Ilmenite has the capacity for redox sequences that transport oxygen in solid state reactors. It has been shown to possess alkali capturing abilities, which is of interest for corrosion deposition avoidance. In addition to bed material-alkali interactions, Tomas’s research areas include deposit formation, slagging, fouling, and high-temperature corrosion. His research questions aim to extend the operational time of boilers, reduce maintenance costs, and ultimately increase the efficiency and availability of the plants.
