The megawatt industrial furnace zero-carbon pure ammonia burner and supporting system jointly developed by the company, Jiangsu Yanxin Technology Co., Ltd. and Xi’an Jiaotong University have recently successfully completed the thermal test in Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, marking China’s achieving the world’s first major breakthrough in the field of clean and efficient combustion technology for zero-carbon pure ammonia in industrial furnaces, opening up a new path for energy conservation, emission reduction, green and low-carbon transformation and development in the energy and chemical industry.

      The project research team conducted research on key technologies such as the ignition law of pure ammonia fuel, the matching relationship between flame propagation speed and flow field characteristics, the stable combustion conditions of pure ammonia fuel, and pure ammonia burners and supporting systems, and completed the core technologies and equipment. Independent development, design and construction work. In early March this year, a thermal test was conducted at the “Hydrogen/ Ammonia/ Carbon-Based Fuel Industrial Combustion Test Center” of Jiangsu Yanxin Technology Co., Ltd., and the full-load stable operation test of a megawatt pure ammonia burner was successfully achieved, verifying the feasibility of ammonia as an alternative fuel for industrial furnaces can replace traditional gaseous fuels such as natural gas and achieve zero carbon emissions.

        As a safe, clean, low-cost zero-carbon fuel for storage and transportation, ammonia can reduce carbon from the source. Taking a single 100MW industrial furnace as an example, using pure ammonia fuel can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 170,000 tons per year.

      The successful test of pure ammonia burners has laid a solid foundation for the promotion and application of ammonia fuel in the petrochemical industry. It also has broad application prospects in other high-carbon emission industries such as ceramics and smelting.
