So, What’s all this fuss about EPA Certified Combustors: should you care?
In the US market, there are over 20 companies aggressively marketing “Combustors” for the US Upstream market with various claims about performance, EPA NSPS 0000a “Compliant” designs and/or EPA NSPS 0000a “Certified” designs. With all of the mixed messages, what do you really need to know, and what do you need to consider so that you don’t ...

Gas Fired Oven
INDUSTRIAL GAS FIRED OVEN CONSTRUCTION An industrial Gas Fired Oven is typically of steel construction, comprised of inner and outer shells of sheet steel panels, separated by 4” thick, 6 lb/ft3 density mineral wool insulation. The panels are constructed as to minimize metal-to-metal contact between inner and outer shells and reduce heat flow from oven chamber to the exterior surface. ...

The landfill gas collection, utilisation and surplus gas combustion acting in unison
In landfill gas utilisation the basic task of the control system is to harmonise three completely independent processes. On the one hand, there is the gas production of the landfill which is inconstant. (From a price point of view, hardly worthwhile to store the gas in a gasometer) On the other side the independent gas utilisation process, which orientates itself to the requirement of the ...

The secret to effectively managing the production of energy from ‘dirty fuels’
Innovation is the driving force behind the world’s waste and recycling industry, and perhaps now more than ever is it important that businesses are helping to propel positive progression within the sector. Alternative fuels have long been a vital piece of this puzzle, but how can operators effectively manage the energy production from so-called ‘dirty fuels’? Our MD, Simon ...

How to Achieve Precise Air-Fuel Ratio Control in Burner Control Applications
Mass flow control is all around us. One common application for industrial mass flow control is air-fuel ratio control of burners in industrial heating processes for manufacturing and other industries. For burner control in manufacturing, precise mass flow control of the air-fuel ratio to the burner keeps melt temperatures constant which produces quality products including glass, metals, and ...

A STIEFEL project UTO Uvrier case study
The waste incineration plant UTO Uvrier is situated in the south western part of Switzerland. The Association which controls the plant was established in 1969 and treats waste from 44 municipalities with a combined population of 170,000 inhabitants. The principal task of UTO Uvrier is the thermal heat recovery from urban and industrial waste. Apart from this, UTO also treats other types of waste ...

A diesel compound HCCI combustion engine based on injection strategy control
This paper presents a compound combustion technology of "Premixed Combustion" and "Lean Diffusion Combustion" for the purpose of realising the concept of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion in a DI diesel engine. The premixed combustion is achieved by the technology of multi-pulse fuel injection. The start of pulse injection, injection-pulse number, injection period of each ...

Project Tank Vapors - Case Study
Project Overview: In 2015 Questor was selected to provide emissions control for a truck loading and tank vapors at a Shell oil battery in Alberta, Canada. The waste gas stream consists primarily of rich gasses, ethane (~19 mol%), propane (~35 mol%), butane (~24 mol%) and remaining hydrocarbons, ~35 mscf/d of fuel gas is required to draw the low pressure waste gas stream into the thermal oxidizer ...

At the heart of every crematorium is the cremator
That’s why more and more crematory operators speak to us even before they draw up their plans Nothing makes more sense really does it? Yet you’d be surprised at just how often we are approached by a crematory operator, who, having designed the crematorium building itself, suddenly seems to realise that they need a cremator that will fit into the space allocated. Yes, of course, ...
