General Information

This 11th European Conference on Industrial Furnaces and Boilers is the latest in a series of very successful Conferences which have been held in Portugal since 1988. These have been attended by a large number of delegates from over 30 countries and approximately 90 papers have been presented at each Conference. In particular, the Conferences have attracted many participants from Industry and the wide range of papers have considered fundamental research as well as topics of a more practical and applied nature. 

The main objective of the Conference is to provide an improved up-to-date understanding of the fundamentals, principles and practices associated with the design and operation of industrial furnaces and boilers and, in a broader view, of industrial systems and processes generating, transforming or using thermal energy from combustion. The Conference will be a means of disseminating information concerned with recent research and development activities in the field of furnace and boiler technology and related areas such as process and combustion control, efficiency optimisation of high-temperature energy application, and reduction of pollutant emissions. It is intended that waste incineration, biomass and oxy-fuel combustion will all feature heavily in the Conference Programme as well as more conventional aspects of combustion. The Conference will provide a forum for delegates involved in research, development, design and operation of furnace and boiler systems, and will also be of interest to those working in areas such as combustion science, fuel technology, energy management and air pollution control.
