- INTRODUCTIONThe catalytic impact of FireCube®
- FireCube® is a new and proprietary solution to improve combustion by catalysis.
The process consists in incorporatingpreviously converted into gaseous form and mixed with the combustion air .
Inside the flame, the catalyst helps facilitate, accelerate and complete the chemical kinetics of the thermal oxidation.Solid and gaseous unburned elements are thus oxidized - Read more
- FireCube®Fields of application
- FireCube® technology has been installed on different thermal systems at several Manufacturers.
For example:
Water tubes or smoke-tubes boilers; HP, LP steam ; hot water…
Thermal fluid process,
Fixed or mobile grid boilers,
Direct or indirect dryers… - Read more
- FireCube®Performances and benefits
- With regard to efficiency
Improvement in the range of 3% to 15%…
With regard to emissions
No or reduced CO, Reduction of NOx thanks to the catalytic effect and a reduction in the levels of excess air
With regard to preventive maintenance
Clinker forming inhibited on grids, ash vitrification prevented, Soot-blowing and sweeping eliminated or reduced
With regard to operating side
Thanks to FireCube®, the boiler can better handle the rapid load variations and is less susceptible to penalising energy factors - Read more
- FireCube®How it works
- FireCube® technology consists in transforming a precursor which contains manganese oxide-based compounds (the catalysts), into quantified vapours at a nano-scale.
To achieve the desired effect, the catalytic content needs to be adapted in terms of volume and distribution to the volume in which the combustion takes place; to achieve this, the dosage and balance of the catalytic product needs to be adjusted and the correct balance obtained in the combustion air intake(s) used as the vectors for its diffusion. - Read more
