A wide range of industrial and chemical processes depend on burners for heat generation. High operating safety while using a minimal amount of energy has priority in order to achieve an economically optimal solution. Depending on the application, various combustion technologies are used. OWI supports the design and optimisation of industrial combustion processes by means of energy balancing, flow simulations, material calculations, material testing and experimental tests with model burners.

Examples for research projects in this area:

• Development of a biofuel burner
• Development of a FLOX-burner für liquid fuels
• Integrated multi-fuel burner system for the generation of industrial process heat from liquid and gaseous substitute fuels
