Introduction:

ENCON, based in Faridabad works in the areas of Designing, Manufacturing, Supplying and Commissioning of Fuel -Efficient Heating Systems on turn-key basis.

Innovation

Development of Regenerative Burners

Brief of innovation

Development of Regenerative burners to be used for liquid and gaseous fuel to recover heat from flue gases exiting furnace at high-temperature ~ 800° Celsius to pre-heat primary air leading to reduction in fuel usage. The regenerative burners have been designed to use regular fuels and for low CV fuels such as Blast Furnace Gas, Coke Oven Gas which are otherwise flared, resulting in loss of useful energy and pollution.
