Burners for the process integrated combustion and utilisation of biomass or waste derived low calorific value gases

摘要

Flameless Oxidation (FLOX~R) burners are well known from process heating applications in industrial high temperature furnaces where FLOX-Bruners are used for more than 10 years [1]. Their low NO_x-performance even at very high furnace temperatures is the major advantage for their use in these systems. Another important advantage of FLOX burners is their ability to burn fuels of changing and fluctuating quality without stability problems. This feature was investigated in detail within the European R&D project BIO-PRO [2]. Based on the findings of this R&D effort the company eflox GmbH was started up in order to exploit the results and develop new products for the utilisation of low calorific value gases. This paper shall present these developments and how they shall further be transferred to commercial products.
