Holds degrees as bachelor (2016) and master (2018) in Mechanical Engineering from Unicamp. Year abroad student from 2013-2014 at University of Bristol. Master thesys developed a burner for low calorific value gases from biomass. Currently looking for master/PhD opportunities abroad to continue studying low calorific value combustion and applications using by-products for heat and energy generation.

This work presents a burner design methodology for pyrolysis gas emitted from charcoal production... more This work presents a burner design methodology for pyrolysis gas emitted from charcoal production. Based on the variety of the existing burner concepts the flameless oxidation concept was chosen due to its high stability, energy recovery capability and possibility to deal with dirty gas with presence of tar. An analysis of the flammability limits of the pyrolysis gas showed that it is flammable most of the operation time. A design methodology was carried and a prototype is presented. The prototype is proposed to be placed on the top of the charcoal kiln chimney. Tests are due to be run by the end of this year at a biomass valorization plant in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Keywords: Combustion, flameless oxidation, pyrolysis, gas, charcoal production
