Latest Combustion Technology

Designed to burn bituminous coal, the Phoenix Coal's combustion system uses a coal preparation skid that pulverizes and delivers coal as the burner demand requires it. Another innovative feature of the Phoenix Coal burner is that it does not use a refractory combustion chamber.


Multiple Fuel Options

The Phoenix Coal Burner uses either Gas, #2 Oil, Recycled Fuel Oil, or Heavy Oil as a support fuel for continuous ignition of the pulverized bituminous coal. The Phoenix Coal burner can also fire at 100% of rated capacity on the support fuel if the coal supply is not available.


Compact Flame Shape

The innovative compact design of the burner and its combustion system also produces a compact fl ame that is easily adapted to modern aggregate dryer designs.


No Visible Stack Emissions

The Phoenix Coal produces emissions comparable to those achieved when burning waste oil as a fuel. In fact, the Phoenix Coal produces no smoke. Stack emissions are at 0% opacity, meaning nothing but sky can be seen through the plume.
