Oilon has reported very low NOx emission levels for its new LN30 burner, enabling an almost 90 per cent NOx reduction in a retrofit burner installation.

In a recent commissioning in Germany, the burner achieved NOx emissions of less than 20 mg/Nm3, significantly below the new EU emission limit of 100 mg/Nm3.

Oilon and Kolb Steamtec conducted the commissioning at a district heating plant of GGZ Zschopau, a Kolb Steamtec customer near Dresden, Germany. Oilon’s LN30, with a firing capacity of 3.7 MW, replaced an older burner in a reverse flame boiler that uses natural gas as fuel. Before the retrofit, the NOx level was approximately 150 mg/Nm3. This is now less than 20 mg/Nm3.

Olli Tevä, Chief Business Officer, Burners at Oilon, said: “The LN30 burner is a new product, and this is the first time we’ve been able to commission it in a reverse flame boiler. It turns out we have the cleanest burner in the world by a significant margin.”
