Saint-Gobain

Total Burner and Radiant Tube Solutions for Energy and Carbon Reduction
Thermal manufacturing process managers must continue to improve efficiency, achieve higher productivity, reduce emissions and overall energy use, and keep equipment running as long as possible. The NOxBuster^® silicon carbide radiant tube insert utilizes a novel design to recirculate exhaust gas and stage the combustion process. This reduces flame temperatures and suppresses NOx. Energy and CO₂ emissions can be substantially reduced when combined with SpyroCor^®and HeatCor^® ceramic inserts.

Benefits include: thin-wall silicon carbide for the highest rates of heat transfer and thermal performance; and the NOxBuster^® novel design combines recirculation and staged combustion for optimum NOx reduction.
