Tallinn University of Technology

About the Department

The activities of the Department of Energy Technology include chemical engineering, environmental engineering, thermal engineering, thermal power plants, heat economy and thermal energy.
The research is divided into two main directions: oil shale technologies (fluidized bed boilers in oil shale industry, calculation methodology for determining oil shale and composition of combustion products, environmental safety problems) and small energy (small boilers, wind power, bioenergy, energy economy).
The Department of Energy Technology provides services in four accredited testing activities: chemical analyses of fuels, ash, precipitation, measurement of air emissions, determination of the metal condition of pressurized equipment and thermal measurements.
