staged air and some other staged fuel burners. Capacity range: 0.5MW to 6MW.

MDBP-LN
The MDBP-SF is a Low NOx gas only burner for down-firing applications. It is able
to fire a wide range of gases, including PSA and other waste gases. These
burners produce a well defined and straight flame to minimise flame impingement
on process tubes. Capacity range: 0.5MW 2.5MW.

COMBINATION BURNERS

PLNC / PLNFC
The PLNC burner is a combination fired round flame Low NOx burner. It utilises
the staged air technique to reduce NOx with both fuels. It is of the double
block design and when fitted with the HERO oil gun the NOx and flame length
are both reduced. The PLNFC burner is the flat flame version of the PLNC burner.
Capacity range of PLNC: 1MW 6MW. Capacity range of PLNFC: 0.5MW - 2.5MW.

PSFC / PSFRC
The PSFC burner is a combination fired Low NOx round flame burner. It utilises

PDSMR
The PDSMR is an ultra Low NOx gas only, round flame downfiring burner. It is
based upon the PSMR and utilises the same NOx reduction techniques. It is able
to operate with a wide range of gases including PSA gas and vapourised naphtha.
Capacity range: 1MW 2.5MW.

PFMR
The PFMR is an ultra Low NOx round flame, forced draft gas only burner. It utilises
deep staging of fuel gas and entrainment of flue gas into the flame envelope to
reduce NOx. This is achieved by utilising the energy in the combustion air to draw
flue gas from the furnace into the burner throat. Capacity range: 1MW - 9MW.

COMBINATION BURNERS:

PFMR-C
The PFMRC is the combination fired version of the PFMR gas only burner. For NOx
reduction with oil firing the HERO oil gun can be used. Capacity range: 1MW

Pilot shown is a ST-1SE with external HT Ignition and flame ionisation electrodes.

IGNITERS:
John Zink can supply a wide range of igniters ranging from simple gas torch
type igniters to mains/battery operated high energy igniters, including explosion-
proof.

Portable explosion proof high energy igniter

Portable battery operated safe area high energy igniter

THERMBOND TILES:
Thermbond refractory uses a liquid activator other than water, which gives it
many advantages over conventional refractories. Thermbond products do not
require a special curing process in order to achieve optimum physical properties.
The need for pre-firing in any way is eliminated. In the past, refractory cure-out
was the main time constraint during startup. Thermbond eliminates these
constraints and costs, and also associated lost production. The features of
Thermbond materials combine to permit fast delivery, which in turn allows
reduction of your refractory inventory.

COMBUSTION SEMINARS:

From Theory
Take a fast spin through basic combustion theory and heat transfer mechanisms
en route to a well-planned tour of burner design fundamentals. Travel through
a review of burner types to the tradeoffs and judgement calls made in burner
selection for fired heaters and other applications. Learn to operate your furnace
for maximum safety, efficiency and minimum emissions and measure the
results. Hear and see how alternative fuels figure in the operational and
environmental equation, compared with natural gas. See and hear about new
technology being developed for your future needs. Take home a complete set
of course materials.

...to Troubleshooting
How can I save money by the way I operate and maintain my fired heater /
boiler? Look at the practices that make a significant difference. Share the
experience of your instructors and fellow course participants. Walk through
scenarios designed to make use of what you learn and sharpen your practical
skills. Contribute to discussions with problems and solutions from your own
work environment. Create your own combustion network that you can call on
later for advice and counsel.

ONSITE BURNER SCHOOLS:

Onsite schools can be arranged where it is more convenient or cost effective

than sending staff to Luxembourg or USA.
