Natural gas-powered industrial- and commercial-scale burner-boiler fuel trains need to be carefully designed and managed to satisfy key safety and regulatory requirements — and to meet performance and operational demand. 

Globally, across nearly every industry, OEMs and end users are looking for ways to improve their heat-treat equipment and processes. In addition, they are facing increasingly stringent NO_X emissions regulations while focusing on delivering the process and product quality their customers expect.

Process heating equipment OEMs that build furnaces, ovens, dryers, kilns and boilers heated by gas burners face challenges related to the development of combustion control panels.

The spectrum of applications found in the process industries means that burner designs must vary widely. Smaller burners are utilized in paint booths, ovens and furnaces while larger burners are specified for incinerators, thermal oil heaters and oxidizers.

Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO) came on the scene some 35 years ago and, for the past two decades, have been the “technology of choice” for industrial VOC control. With many incremental improvements, regenerative thermal oxidizers do not risk losing this status any time soon. 

Specialty EMI/RFI gaskets and seals are manufactured to OEM specifications from materials best suited for the application, including factors such as impact-, solvent-, and UV-resistance, heat and flexibility.

Evaluating your process will help you specify a plate-and-frame heat exchanger that is right for your application. Use these 10 tips to specify your next plate heat exchanger and maximize its service life.
