Industrial Burner; an Important Component Used to Achieve Controlled Combustion

 

Industrial Burner

An industrial burner is mechanical equipment used to produce flames in a contained manner. The burner performs many important functions, such as distribution of fuel and air, combustion control, fuel preparation, etc. The productivity of the burner depends on the mixing rate of air and fuel, which affects the stability of the flame. An industrial burner is widely used to heat either water or air through a heat exchanger. Most burners are cylindrical and mix a fuel and oxidant to produce a flame and heat. It is widely used in various end-use industries, such as chemical, mining & metal, petrochemicals, food processing, automotive, glass & ceramics, etc.

Industrial burners allow a wide variety of facilities to control open flame for a wide range of applications. They are used for heating purposes in industrial settings, as a means of generating steam or supplying thermal energy, or applied in manufacturing processes. An industrial burner is a component of a furnace where air mixes with fuel, and is burned in order to create heat. Burners are used to fix the location of the combustion zone within a furnace, gas turbine, boiler, combustion chamber, or other equipment requiring heat from flames. However, these burners are designed for different temperature levels depending on the nature of production processes.

Industrial burners are used to mix fuel and air (or oxygen) to achieve controlled combustion, producing a specific flame and heat-release pattern. The heat generated is used to control the temperature within the combustion chamber at process set points, making it ideal for melting, heating, steam production, and manufacturing, among others. Furthermore, the production of more efficient burners has increased due to stringent regulations regarding the manufacture of industrial burners. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors the operating conditions of industrial burners, air emission standards of industrial burners, and associated constituents of industrial burners.
