Product catalog summary
Introduction
John Zink Hamworthy Combustion's QLN® Burner technology offers ultra-low NOx emissions for steam flood generators in the Canadian Oil Sands without requiring flue gas recirculation (FGR). This innovation reduces capital and operational costs while meeting stringent emissions standards.

Simplicity and Versatility
The QLN burner is designed for easy operation and maintenance, suitable for unattended operations. It is available in various configurations, including options with and without FGR, to meet different NOx targets and fuel sulfur content. The burner is also Future Regulatory Ready (FRR).

Key Features
  • Achieves ultra-low NOx emissions of sub 7.9 g/GJ without FGR.
  • Improves operational efficiency with excess air as low as 5% at full load.
  • Easy retrofit installation with an integrated bolt-on package.
  • Wide operating window for reliable performance.
  • Even heat distribution within the generator furnace.
  • Compatible with variable heating-value fuels.

Proven Performance
With over 15 years of application in the Canadian Oil Sands, QLN technology has been installed in more than 400 OTSG units, offering single-burner capacities up to 420 MMBtu/hr.

Optimized Combustion
Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, the QLN burner optimizes air distribution, flame characteristics, and pollutant formation for enhanced combustion efficiency.

Additional Solutions and Support
John Zink Hamworthy offers a comprehensive range of burner packages, safety systems, and auxiliary products. Their services include CFD modeling, installation, startup service, operator training, preventive maintenance, and complete turnkey service, ensuring reliable support worldwide.

QLN®Burner-1

QLN® Burner For Steam Flood Generators in the Canadian Oil Sands Ultra-Low NOx, Now With No FGR Required Today’s steam flood generators for enhanced oil recovery face many economical and operational challenges to meet increasingly lower emissions standards. But Coen brand burners from John Zink Hamworthy Combustion deliver ultralow emission performance with efficient, reliable operation. In fact, our proven QLN burner technology now delivers ultra-low NOx emissions without the use of flue gas recirculation (FGR), which can translate into thousands of dollars of reduced capital and operational costs for oil production operations. Simplicity and Versatility The easy operation and maintenance of the QLN burner is ideal for steam flood generators that are often required to operate unattended for extended periods of time. In addition, QLN burner packages are available in a variety of configurations for operations: without FGR, and also using induced FGR or forced FGR coming from a dedicated FGR fan for even lower NOx. Our experts can help determine the optimal solution depending upon the target level of NOx and the sulfur content in the fuel. QLN burner packages can also be designed up-front to meet current regulatory requirements and be Future Regulatory Ready (FRR). At A Glance + Can meet ultra-low NOx statute of sub 7.9 g/GJ (15 PPM) NOx without FGR + Delivers improved operational efficiency with excess air as low as 5% at full load conditions + Installs with integrated bolt-on package for easy retrofits + Offers wide operating window for reliable operation performance + Provides even heat distribution within the generator furnace + Fires variable heating-value fuels such as natural, mixed and produced gas For more than 15 years, our proven the leading choice for OTSGs in the
