Successful stable combustion of ammonia combustion. Introducing a heat recovery burner with built-in heat exchanger! Contributing to decarbonization and low carbonization in high-temperature fields.

The "ammonia combustion burner," considered one means of decarbonization, has successfully achieved stable combustion in ammonia-only operation with Daigas Energy Co., Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., using a heat exchanger-integrated waste heat recovery burner. It has also achieved a mixing ratio with city gas ranging from 0% to 100%, contributing to the decarbonization and low carbonization of high-temperature fields such as aluminum production. This burner can be used in industrial furnaces and thermal equipment that require high-temperature heat, including aluminum manufacturing processes (melting, holding, preheating) and heat treatment, as well as in the automotive and automotive parts manufacturing sectors. 【Features】 - Zero CO2 emissions during ammonia-only combustion - Achieves stable combustion in ammonia-only operation - Stable combustion with city gas mixing in the range of 0% to 100% - High efficiency, space-saving, and low-cost with a heat exchanger-integrated waste heat recovery design By developing a dedicated nozzle optimized for mixing fuel gas and air for ammonia co-combustion, stable combustion has been achieved across a wide ammonia mixing ratio of 0% to 100% at a combustion volume of 50 kW. Moving forward, we will work on resolving remaining issues such as NOx reduction and aim for early practical application.
