Fundamentals development of initiating burning and combustion of composite liquid fuels based on low-grade coals or waste coals and used flammable liquids mixture in power plants to replace traditional fossil fuels (coal, fuel oil, diesel, etc).

Implication of low-grade solid fossil fuels in the energy production as well as utilization of coal and oil processing waste by combustion in the furnaces of hot water boilers and steam boilers.
