At Comtherm, we take pride in delivering high-performance combustion solutions tailored to the most demanding industrial applications. Last year, we completed a successful burner installation for a leading foundry equipment and machinery manufacturer, providing them with a cutting-edge burner system for their fluidised bed sand reclamation plant.
Project Overview
The client required a highly robust burner system capable of operating in an extreme environment while maintaining precise control over temperature within the fluidised bed. The burners were required to operate at high pressure within internal perforated flame tubes set into the bed of the process plant. To meet these requirements, we partnered with our high-temperature experts at GTS-Comtherm in India and supplied four GTS-MTB Nozzle Mix Burners, a proven high-temperature burner technology designed for applications involving open tube firing. We chose high/low gas-only control to give the best temperature uniformity.
Technical Specifications & Key Features
🔹 Burner Type: GTS-MTB (Metallic Tube Burners)
🔹 Burner Management System: Fireye BurnerPro with Modbus communication
🔹 Fuel Type: Natural Gas
🔹 Heat Capacity: 300kW per burner
🔹 Control Type: High/Low or modulating
🔹 Turndown Ratio: 10:1 for optimal flexibility
🔹 Mixing Method: Nozzle mix - Fuel gas and combustion air are mixed at the combustion head to give excellent stability and reliable ignition
🔹 Combustion Modes: Operates in stoichiometric, excess air, or reducing air-to-fuel gas ratio
Why the MTB Burner?
For this application, the burners needed to fire directly into an open tube while maintaining high reliability and controlled combustion. The MTB burner technology was the ideal solution due to its exceptional stability throughout the whole of its operating envelope.
Project Execution & Results
Our team worked closely with the client to ensure a smooth installation and commissioning process. The four MTB burners were successfully integrated into their system, providing:
✔ Enhanced Control
✔ Improved Diagnostics, Burner Status & Fault Finding (from the remote plant control panel)
✔ Improved Temperature Uniformity
✔ Reliable & Safe Combustion
Conclusion
By supplying four high-temperature GTS-MTB burners, we provided a reliable, effective and future-proof solution for our client’s fluidised bed burner system. This project highlights our commitment to delivering bespoke combustion solutions that meet the most challenging industrial demands.
