Abstract
The authors have analysed the expediency of the suggested low-grade fuels application method. Thermal processing of solid raw materials in the gaseous fuel, called synthesis gas, is investigated. The technical challenges concerning the applicability of the existing gas equipment developed and extensively tested exclusively for natural gas were considered. For this purpose computer simulation of three-dimensional syngas-incinerating flame dynamics was performed by means of the ANSYS Multiphysics engineering software. The subjects of studying were: a three-dimensional aerodynamic flame structure, heat-release and temperature fields, a set of combustion properties: a flare range and the concentration distribution of burnout reagents. The obtained results were presented in the form of a time-averaged pathlines with color indexing. The obtained results can be used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of complex multicomponent gas incineration singularities.

Summary
One of the main problems of the global energy industry is the problem of low-grade fuels application. The mentioned disadvantages can be eliminated by heat processing of low-grade fuels into energy products of high quality gaseous fuel, called synthesis gas [1,2,3,4,5]. The aim of this work is the examination of low-grade raw fuel processing to gaseous fuel (synthesis gas) in order to assess the feasibility of this energy application method. The well-known advantages of the gaseous fuels energy use [6,7,8] (possibility of combustion process automating, ecological compatibility, low abrasive deterioration of heating surfaces and intensive heat transfer due to higher flow velocities available) expand the range of low-grade fuels useful applications. That nowadays synthesis gas has a high variety of applications in Power Engineering and Industrial services, there is still no commercially available equipment designed for its utilization. The obtained results were presented in the form of a time-averaged pathlines with colored, according to heat release dissipation, temperature and the mass fraction of reactants in the gas mixture
