Science and Research
Without an active search for new knowledge and regular exchange of experiences with the professional community, teaching would quickly lose its relevance. Therefore, scientific research is an essential area for the Institute of Crisis Management. A significant number of employees of the institute regularly participate in international conferences, professional workshops, and participate in project activities. Currently, the following project plans are being addressed at the Institute of Crisis Management:
- Risk management and crisis management in organizations (RVO project – researcher: Dr. Tomaštík).
- Implementation of risk management and principles of Arts Management in museums in the Czech Republic (IGA project – researcher: Dr. Tomaštík).
- SVOČ FLCM 2020 (IGA project – researcher: Dr. Hoke)
Employees of the Institute of Crisis Management are also active in organizational activities. Since 2014, they have been taking care of the preparation of the international CrisCon conference, which is the only regular meeting of the professional community at the faculty. Within the student section, students also have access to this event every year, for whom it is an interesting opportunity to discuss their scientific debts with experts from practice. More information about this conference is available on the official website https://criscon.cz.
Device for measuring the water saturation of the moisture absorber
The device for measuring the water saturation of a moisture absorber, developed in cooperation between Tomas Bata University in Zlín and the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, is an innovative technical solution for monitoring moisture absorbers in gases. This instrument is used to measure the saturation of an absorbent material (e.g. calcium sulphate or silica gel) that is used to dehumidify gases such as exhaust gases or air.
The device works on the principle of weighing. As the absorbent material absorbs moisture, the weight of the whole increases. When the weight reaches a set value that indicates full saturation of the material, the operator is informed that the absorber needs to be replaced. The device is equipped with a monitoring system and alarm to indicate when full capacity has been reached. It can also be equipped with remote data transmission for more convenient management.
This device has a wide range of applications, especially in flue gas treatment systems before entering the analysers, thus protecting the equipment from damage caused by moisture.
