Test Bed for Combustion Technologies
A critical role for industrial furnace operators in Canada is to seek out new ways of optimizing combustion performance of their furnace systems. However, making changes to operating furnaces often disrupts a company's production cycle. As a result, production schedules and quality usually take precedence when questions arise concerning the amount or cost of improvement. Natural Resources Canada's CanmetENERGY provides a solution in the form of a Pilot-Scale Industrial ...

Pilot-Scale Research Boiler
Fig. A.1 Schematic of the Pilot-Scale Research Boiler CanmetENERGY’s pilot-scale research boiler (PSRB) is illustrated schematically in Figure A.1. The furnace is U-shaped and consists of a vertical refractory-lined shaft and vertical steam boiler connected at the bottom through a horizontal refractory-lined tunnel. It is fired by opposing twin burners which can be located in three basic positions, known as the I, J, or U configuration. Solid, liquid or gaseous fuels can ...

Flare Test Facility
CanmetENERGY's collaborative program on flare testing and development addresses the concern of industry and federal and provincial regulatory bodies to have the most cost effective, safe and environmentally responsible technology to dispose of waste gases. Background Flaring is a common method of disposal of flammable waste gases in the upstream oil and gas, downstream refining and chemical processing industries. The flare is an open-air flame usually at the top of a ...
