Smoke emissions reduced alongside unplanned system shutdowns with high precision Stiefel flame sensors detect using<=1s with 99.9% reliable renewables dullen fuel sources such as gas oil dual fuels.
Our Stiefel burners have integrated innovative features for low NOx emissions such as staged combustion and recirculation of flue gas, attaining ≤20 mg/Nm³ emissions which is compliant with CARB standards (California) and EN 303-5 in the E.U. A California winery was able to reduce sets of NOx emissions from 80 mg/Nm³ to 18 mg/Nm³ with use of the FGR equipped burners fulfilling regional standards. This advanced option of dual fuel (gas/oil/biomass) for the burners contributes to increased operational versatility as they can easily switch with lower carbon biogas or hydrogen blends up to 20% making them less vulnerable to changing climate legislations.
Stiefel’s flame sensors combined with Stiefel’s pilot lights provide the critical function of combustion monitoring to provide real-time monitoring. UV sensors (185–260nm) are exceptional for use with gas burners, detecting methane flames instantaneously and are accompanied by oil and biomass burners with IR sensors (2–5μm) which are not sensitive to light interference. The sensors calibrating check modules are self-diagnostic, performing daily in dusty conditions IP66-rated. For a chemical plant’s dual fuel burner, our combined UV/IR sensor system eliminated false alarm triggers from sunlight reflections removing unnecessary shutdowns from four times per month to none. The sensors are modular, allowing faster replacement during maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Would Stiefel’s burners work with smart factory systems?
Certainly, Stiefel’s burners can work with IoT connections and support protocols MODBUS, Profibus, and OPC UA. One German automotive plant used our burners with IoT and were able to remotely monitor over 50 units which reduced downtimes by 35% due to predictive maintenance alerts. The HMIs touchscreen also allows easy adjustment of set points made right on the floors, hence on-the-spot modifications to enhance workflow are possible.
At our sugarcane mill, Stiefel's custom for us biomass burner with ceramic lining nozzles decreased clogging 70 percent. The dual fuel option available along with local regulatory support helped us clinch 30 percent carbon reduction. The design installation process was great.
Our technologies for condensing and regenerative heat exchangers recover up to 85 percent of waste heat for use, bringing efficiency to 98 percent. A Canadian plant achieved a 10-month payback period from exchanger upgrades, showcasing rapid ROI.
Global Certification and Compliance
CE, UL, ATEX, and CSA certification approves the widerange compliant standards our burners meet. For example, hydrogen capable versions of our burners further the EU’s Green Deal and US decarbonization objectives, guaranteeing forward looking solutions.
Data Driven Predictive Maintenance
The IoT sensors integrated in our burners monitors performance, allowing maintenance to be performed proactively. A dutch dairy plant using this data was able to accurately predict nozzle wear and spent 35 percent less on unplanned maintenance, optimizing budget allowance.
