PTQ Q1 2026 Issue

This newly developed next-generation ULNB meets the industry’s demands and can make a facility hydrogen-ready today for the coming fuel changeover. The burner is suita- ble for both natural draft and forced draft applications, for both ambient air and preheated air, and can handle a wide range of fuel gas compositions, including 100% hydrogen. It has been proven in field installation. The burner maintains the performance and flame dimensions of current-genera - tion ULNBs while significantly reducing NOx emissions.
