New technology to reduce emissions

August 2004 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring Security Services & Risk Management

The M-Pakt Ultra Low Emissions Burner produces NOx and CO emissions up to 95% less than conventional burners. Without exotic alloys or fragile ceramics, the burner reduces NOx with a patented, advanced flame stabilisation. The M-Pakt's anchoring of the flame reduces prompt NOx while thermal NOx is suppressed with a uniform mixture.

In application, the burner is claimed to produce NOx as low as 4-7 ppm corrected to 3% oxygen. In most installations, CO production is limited to less than 20 ppm corrected to 3% oxygen.

Some industrial applications exhibit process effects or designs that can affect the production of pollutants. Maxon's expertise in dealing with environmental regulation provides the user with a dependable estimate of the emissions levels for its process.

Factors that can affect emissions include:

* Process air direction, temperature and velocity.

* Process steam constituents, especially nitrogen bearing compounds.

* Combustion air quality, relative humidity and filtration.

* Burner location and installation.

* Fuel quality and heating value.

* Emissions instrument calibration and testing protocol.

The M-Pakt burns on natural gas or propane. Its compact packaged design offers a variety of control methods and its optional discharge sleeve selections could be used with low or high temperature applications. Due to the ultra low emissions the burner will be safe for direct firing in the food industry.
