LURO burner

The LURO burner, developed in co-operation with Saacke, is the first choice in sulfur combustion technology because of its flexibility from turn down ratio to operation modes, the superior atomization and its reliability.

The liquid sulfur is fed into the LURO burner at virtually atmospheric pressure thereby avoiding the need for costly high-pressure pumps and piping. The spinning cup, rotating at high speed, ensures excellent atomization of sulfur. A system of adjustable guide-vanes imparts a tangential component to the combustion air. The resulting spiral path of the gases through the furnace not only effectively keeps the flame central but simultaneously prevents unvaporized sulfur droplets from impinging on the furnace wall.

 

Some of the main features of the LURO burner are: 5 tpd up to 600 tpd per burner Turn down ratio from 1 : 5 without the need to change any equipment SO2-concentrations over 18 vol.-% in continuous operation Operation on gas or fuel during start-up
