Application Areas 1. Gases Vent gases (tank storage) Formalin gas (contains H2) CO gases (cat regeneration, production of carbon black) Blast Furnace Gas, Coke Oven Gas 2. Liquids Loaded waste water (phenol resin) Solvent mixtures Sugar Cane Vinasse, Soya Molasses 21
Application Areas 3. Pulverized Fuels Pet Coke Hard Coal Lignite (Brown Coal) Wooden Dust Waste Dust from Tobacco, Sugar Beat Chips, Rape.. 22
Summary 1. The SSB swirl burner has many application areas: With standard fuels for waste incineration plants and combustion chambers With muffle for low-calorific gases and liquids With staged air muffle to reduce fuel-no formation 2. The swirl burner is characterised by a very stable flame and its excellent mixing efficiency. 3. In combination with a staged air muffle NOx reduction rates over 50 % can be achieved for a mean nitrogen content. 4. This air staging is used for gaseous, liquid and pulverized fuels directly in cooled furnaces. 23
