Focused particularly in the lime and cement industries, this advanced burner technology provides a straightforward retrofit to upgrade the performance of direct-fired systems or straight-pipe burners.
Developed using CFD modelling, the DFN (direct-fired nozzle) burner has been proven across many projects to provide outstanding improvements in areas such as production, fuel consumption, NOx emissions, and ash ring formation.
A simple and elegant design that uses well established and proven changes in fuel/air mixing intensity to provide flame control. The KFS designs avoid the complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms which are essential in the standard burner one-size-fits-all approach and avoids potential for local operations or maintenance to adjust incorrectly.
The primary air is split between axial air, for flame length and heat flux control, and swirl air for flame anchoring. Flame stability is provided by a highly efficient aerodynamic swirler to provide excellent flame stability. Each OptiMix™ burner is supplied with an integral pilot including the extremely reliable natural gas or propane model.
