The combustion facility operates on a vibrating grate principle. It can be equipped with both a water cooled as well as an air-cooled grate depending on the fuel calorific value. The test boiler is equipped with about 20 portholes, which enables sampling of temperature, radiation intensity, gas composition etc. in a 3D-grid inside of the boiler. It is possible to change air distribution, airflow patterns, vibration pattern etc. for maximum flexibility. The test facility is supplemented with laboratory equipment for determination of fuel properties (Proximate and Ultimate analysis incl. Cl, TGA, heating value, heavy metal analysis).

The laboratory is suitable for training of staff for combustion facilities, to test the combustion properties of new fuels in a realistic setting and to conduct research and education.
