An introduction to the principles of combustion technology applied to gaseous and liquid fuels, covering a wide range of applications but with the main focus towards high temperature processes.
The course will also look at developments in minimising combustion
emissions whilst maintaining plant efficiency, including practical examples and an interactive ‘question and answer' session.

Topics covered will include:
- Combustion Principles
fuel types & properties / heat transfer issues
- Burner Types
basic principles, burner types / fuel & air components and systems /
oxy fuel technology
- Emission & Control Strategies
types of NOx burners / control options / flameless combustion
- Energy Efficiency & Low NOx Burners
cold air, recuperative and regenerative burner developments /
applying low NOx to energy efficiency
- Economic Issues
energy costs versus potential savings / non-combustion cost savings and benefits
- Selection Criteria
basic selection guidelines / includes an open session where
delegates will have an opportunity to discuss their applications.

Who will benefit from this course?
Process and plant managers / supervisors, energy & environmental
managers, equipment suppliers (OEM) sales and project staff working with combustion related aspects of furnaces, kilns, ovens, dryers, etc.
