Reliable, efficient and safe
in tough conditions
Valmet has a proven selection of power plant and process burners suitable for boilers,
waste incinerators and process solutions. Valmet’s burner systems can be installed to
operate exclusively and meet the extreme operating conditions of recovery boiler furnaces
as well as CFB reactors. In other words, they provide unsurpassed reliability to ensure the
highest availability.
All-inclusive capabilities
Valmet has comprehensive expertise
and vast experience in environmentally
friendly combustion technology, and in
the manufacture of power and recovery
boilers. This gives us full-scale and real
condition capabilities when it comes
to engineering and realizing advanced
burner systems. Continuous technical
advancement of all our burner prod-
ucts brings ongoing customer benefits.
Providing for every need
Our product range covers all the
burner needs of modern pulp and
paper mills and utility power provid-
ers, from a single-burner unit to the
construction of large multi-burner
boiler plants. Our offering includes
studies of customer needs from devel-
opment and engineering to installa-
4 5
tion, commissioning and after-sales
services throughout the lifecycle of
their operations.
We have supplied more than 2,500
installations for power and recovery
boilers since 1975.
We provide:
• Complete burner systems
• Rebuilds, repairs, upgrades and
conversions
• Inspections, commissioning and
service
• Spare parts
• Operator and maintenance training
• Studies for improving burner
combustion processes, including
CFD analysis and emission
optimization studies
Valmet supplies burners for liquid
and gaseous fuels. Typical fuels are
light or heavy fuel oils, natural gas,
tall oil, odorous gases, methanol and
biodiesel. Our liquid fuel burners use
steam and/or compressed air atomi-
zation technology. When it comes to
existing burners and burner systems,
Valmet also carries out upgrades
providing environmental compliance,
automated operation and automated
firing control. Upgrading a boiler
and/or combustor with our burner
systems lowers emissions levels,
improves combustion efficiency, and
increases the use of sustainable fuels.
Also solutions for lime kilns are avail-
able. Fuels like gasifigation gas, pellet
powder dust and H2 for instance can
be used in addition to the conven-
tional fuels.
Front-running solutions
With a widespread understanding of demanding process conditions and in-depth
experience of handling a wide variety of fuels, Valmet is a front-runner in combustion
technology for sustainable energy generation and recovery solutions.
Start burners
Our start burners are installed in
a downward sloping configuration
to prevent smelt in recovery boilers
and sand in the fluidized bed boilers
from blocking flame outlets. This
ensures quicker burn down prior to
shutdown, and avoids flame scanner
disturbances from opposing burners.
Our development of fuel atomization
technology provides superior flame shape,
and low emission levels, to meet the most
demanding operation and environmental
requirements.
Efficient, easy-to-handle start burners
shorten start-up time and increase boiler
availability and production time.
Load burners
Valmet’s load burners are optimized
for low NOx emissions. In addition,
our load burners can be equipped
with a cooled, protective door to
prevent damage from the furnace
environment. Valmet has its own
integrated in-house technology for
FGR, OFA, SNCR/SCR, DeSOx and
particle filtration to be combined
for burner deliveries.
The Valmet low-NOx natural gas burners
easily meet the emission requirements of the
directives and norms.
Fast and reliable load burner response
keeps your boiler on load and the emission
levels low through a wide turn-down ratio
despite tough changing furnace conditions.
NCG combustion
Valmet has suitable burner models for
NCG combustion in recovery boilers,
CFB boilers, BFB boilers and fire-tube
boilers. Special low-NOx technology
has also been developed for NCG-in-
cinerator models. The spare burner is
typically a flare or a vertical incin-
erator. Horizontal models are also
available.
Valmet is strongly involved in the R&D of
biofuels for burners. Fast pyrolysis oil made
from forest residues can be used to replace
fossil fuels in boilers.
&
Valmet has developed a special series of
high availability NCG burners for boilers.
Support steam consumption can be mini-
mized, and therefore also all disturbances
in combustion and flame scanning.
Valve units and Burner
Management Systems
Burners are connected to the valve
rack unit with a Local Control Box
(LCB). The rack has all the necessary
control and safety valves and ac-
cessories. Our Burner Management
Systems (BMS) are fully compliant
with existing legislation and codes.
Our stand-alone BMS includes a
control unit with displays for all main
functions, and links to the DCS.
A DCS-implemented BMS is also
available.
Full steam forward – Valmet’s perfect
oxidizer of NCG:s on the run. Neither
smoke nor bad smell.
Valmet’s CNCG flare is guaranteed to
oxidize sulfur gases (TRS) by up to 99.95%
without additional noise, vibrations or vis-
ible smoke, and with minimal support-fuel
consumption.
