First hydrogen burner for travelling grate pelletizing plants
A first-of-its-kind burner that is designed to run on hydrogen and to operate on the low nitrogen oxides (LowNOx) combustion principle, has recently been unveiled.
Metso introduced the hydrogen-variant of its Ferroflame LowNOx burners as part of its NextGen Pelletizing plant product range.
Designed specifically for travelling grate pelletizing plants, the burners are fully hydrogen powered and are part of the company’s ‘Planet Positive’ offering focused on environmentally efficient technologies.
Hydrogen-powered Ferroflame LowNOx burners use the same combustion principle as Ferroflame LowNOx burners for natural gas. The burners can replace traditional burners in a travelling grate pelletizing plant and the Ferroflame LowNOx burners for natural gas can be modified to run on hydrogen.
“Its laboratory-proven functionality and performance with hydrogen can be implemented in pelletizing plants and can help customers in meeting carbon dioxide and NOx targets. We see these burners as a stepping-stone towards decarbonization of the pelletizing industry,” says Metso ferrous and heat transfer senior product manager Andreas Munko.
Metso explains that its NextGen Pelletizing concept strives for the next generation of pelletizing plants to be carbon-neutral and autonomous.
The company also highlights its range of digital solutions designed to help improve process performance, production capacity and product quality, as well as reduce energy consumption, environmental impact, and operation and maintenance costs. These solutions include VisioPellet, Optimus Process optimizer, Pallet Car Condition Monitoring System, and Training Simulator.
