Burners and Combustion Systems
Burners and combustion controls to replace or upgrade firing on existing furnaces
Overview
What it is and where it works
Burners, gas trains and combustion controls to replace worn equipment or upgrade the firing of an existing melting or holding furnace. Upgrades range from new cold-air burners to recuperative, regenerative or oxy-fuel systems that reuse flue gas heat to preheat combustion air, cutting fuel per tonne on reverberatory, rotary and tower furnaces.
- Burner types
- Cold air, recuperative, regenerative and oxy-fuel
- Regenerative burners
- Work in pairs, using exhaust heat to preheat combustion air
- Documented retrofit
- Regenerative pair on a 25.5 t melter targeted about 40% less fuel
In your plant
Where It Is Used
- Replacing worn burners on reverberatory and holding furnaces
- Upgrading cold-air firing to recuperative or regenerative
- Rotary and tower furnace burner replacement
- Fuel conversion projects (diesel or LPG to natural gas)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can regenerative burners work on a dirty exhaust?
Dust in the flue gas loads the regenerative beds, so designs with quick bed cleanout are used on melting furnaces. Tell us what you charge so we size the system for it.
How much fuel will I save?
Up to about 40% depending on actual conditions, as one documented retrofit targeted. We need your current consumption per tonne to estimate it for your plant.
