Technical Tour 2: Freiberg
19 September 2025

Limited places are available for the technical tour. Availability on a first-come first-served basis.

During the tour, participants will have the opportunity to get an impression of the specialized laboratory, bench-scale and pilot-scale facilities at the Institute of Energy Process Engineering & Chemical Engineering, TU Bergakademie Freiberg and the Fraunhofer Institute IKTS group for Circular Carbon Technologies in Freiberg. The range of equipment, from pilot to demo scale, is unique for a university. Together with the comprehensive laboratory equipment, this allows to conduct research from the basics through to application.

Participants will visit the following Laboratory, Bench-Scale & Large-Scale Facilities:

  • FlexiSlag – fixed-bed slagging pilot gasification plant for multiple solid feedstock
  • FlexiFluidized – entrained/fluidized bed pilot gasification plant for multiple solid feedstock
  • FlexiPox – high pressure partial oxidation pilot plant for gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons (e.g. oil residues, pyrolysis oils)
  • FlexiEntrained (GSP gasification process)
  • Fraunhofer pyrolysis platform (LTG/CTC processes)
  • Bench-scale pyrolysis equipment
  • Specialized laboratory equipment for feedstock characterization & analysis
  • plasma facilities at Center for efficient high-temperature processes and materials conversion (ZeHS)
