Fives designs customized precalciner solutions to meet specific customers' needs FCB Zero-NOx Preca Low-NOx emissions: Thanks to staged combustion and depending on the fuel mix, FCB Zero-NOx Preca does not produce any NOx. Thus, in many cases, it avoids the use of an SNCR injection system. Low burnability fuels capabilities: The Low-NOx burner creates a hot spot for easy ignition and complete burnout of any fuel such as anthracite coal, petcoke and some alternative fuels. Staged combustion: The conical quarl of the combustion chamber stabilizes ignition in reducing conditions, which avoids the...
