E&M Combustión has developed a propane burner for a limestone factory. The burner used in the plant is the JBM-HP model and will use propane gas as fuel.

At this limestone factory, the burner designed by E&M Combustion has become the essential element used in the industrial kiln to generate the extreme heat required for the raw material calcination process. The equipment’s function is to increase the temperature of the limestone to high levels in order to chemically decompose it and convert it into quicklime, thus obtaining limestone aggregates. In addition to generating heat, the burner is responsible for controlling the temperature and flame stability, and optimizing energy efficiency and environmental performance.

The quicklime thus becomes the raw material for use in a cement plant, although it can have other applications, such as aggregate for road bases, paints, or soil conditioning. The Basque combustion technology engineering firm awarded the installation and commissioning contract to Termotim Sombor Engineering, whose work has now been fully completed.

JBM-HP propane burner for a limestone factory

The development of a burner for a limestone factory is a monobloc unit from the JBM-HP family, designed to withstand high combustion chamber overpressures. These burners are low-NOx emission, without sacrificing energy efficiency, and capable of operating with all types of liquid and gaseous fuels. These units incorporate a touchscreen and electronic combustion control, and feature low noise levels. The burner’s Low NOx heads are designed to achieve low pollutant emissions, thus being environmentally friendly, as well as to achieve a high degree of thermal efficiency.

Furthermore, the JBM-HP burners incorporate a noise reduction system, including a silencer in the fan’s air intake.

E&M Combustion´s mission is to create high-tech equipment and designs to meet our customers’ requirements. So it develops industrial burners technology with low pollutant emissions that at the same time ensure major energy saving.

As an industrial combustion engineering company we develop the most innovative Combustion Technologies to offer Gas Burners, Oil Burners, mixed burners and alternative fuel burners, made “to measure”. Our company is an international benchmark in ATEX and NEC Burners, Hot Gas Generators and Combustion Equipment for alternative fuels such as Hydrogen and Biogas.
