Reduce carbon impact with multi-fuel burners

Converting a fossil-fuel installation starts with your thermal needs, equipment and available resources. Navitech studies and integrates multi-fuel solutions, alone or combined with electrification and heat recovery.

Biomass powder burners

An existing boiler or combustion chamber can, following a compatibility assessment, be fitted with a burner suited to wood powder or other fuels. The project considers chamber geometry, load profiles, emissions and operating constraints.

Multi-fuel technology provides flexibility for base load, peaks and backup requirements, depending on the selected design.

Pellets are stored on site and then milled. The powder is dosed and transported pneumatically to the burner.

Storage, milling and dosing layouts are studied according to the available space and conveying route.

Agropellets and agricultural or food industry by-products can also be used, provided combustion and flue gas treatment are adapted to their characteristics.

Upgrading an existing installation

Steam, hot water, thermal oil boilers or drying chambers: we assess conversion options and interfaces with retained equipment.

Storage, milling and flue gas treatment can be prepared in advance. Burner work and connections are planned with the client to manage production shutdowns.

Building a new boiler plant

A new installation allows layout, capacity and equipment to be matched to current and future needs.

Comparison with a retrofit considers investment, operating costs, site constraints and required flexibility.

Frequently asked questions about multi-fuel burners

Can the burner be replaced without stopping production?

Some work can be prepared during operation. Burner replacement and connections require a planned shutdown, with duration depending on the installation and scope.

Are agropellets compatible?

Compatibility must be assessed from the fuel properties, boiler or combustion chamber and flue gas treatment. A study identifies necessary adaptations.

What are the advantages of wood powder?

It can replace a share of fossil energy and provides modulation suited to many processes. Performance and carbon impact are assessed for the project and its supply chain.
