New and retrofit, low and ultra-low NOx, round and duct burners for power applications
Typical Applications
Ancillary Equipment & Services
The ZEECO® FREE-JET Burner has delivered ultra-low NOx performance for more than two decades, utilizing advanced fuel staging techniques and patented technology to reduce emissions. The FREE-JET uses a center-fired gas burner with an air swirler to provide a stable core flame while our gas ring directs fuel around the periphery of the burner throat. The FREE-JET design incorporates enhanced fuel staging and aspirates flue gas internal to the furnace, resulting in superior ultra-low NOx performance. The FREE-JET design reduces – and in many cases eliminates – the need for Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR).
The ZEECO® GB Burner is engineered to solve complex issues, simply. This axial, parallel-flow, register-type burner, is based on a design proven in the combustion industry for more than 40 years. By employing advanced fuel and air staging techniques and incorporating the Z-Jet™ staged gas manifold, it can reliably achieve emissions as low as 18 ppm with Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR), while eliminating flameout or flash back. Flexible and dependable, the GB design can be fired with or without FGR, with multiple fuels, and across both single and multi-burner applications. With no moving parts, the GB burner is engineered for quick startups – typically completed in a week with little to no field adjustment.
Additional GB Burner Advantages
The next generation ZEECO® TEG+ Duct Burner provides the most reliable supplementary firing system available for today’s demanding HRSG and Turbine Exhaust Gas (TEG) applications. Our self-supporting burners eliminate the need for internal fixed structural support, which can cause binding and overall deformation – dramatically reducing installation time and material costs. TEG+ burners use flame stabilizers featuring an optimized drilled wing orifice pattern to create a short, compact flame. The nozzle design features pilot flame propagation drilling and varying orifice sizes throughout the runner to ensure highly reliable ignition, even temperature distribution, and consistent flame pattern.
ZEECO® register-style duct burners may be the ideal choice when lower emissions or lower operating O2 levels are a project requirement. Our register-style duct burner delivers high efficiency and excellent reliability across a wide range of both gaseous and liquid fuels, suitable for a variety of TEG firing applications.
Trust our full line of high-quality and ultra-reliable ZEECO® ignition systems. Ranging from simple flame rods to retractable NFPA Class 3 special high-energy direct spark rods, through Class 3 intermittent igniters, up to Class 1 continuous duty pilots, Zeeco offers solutions for any application.
ZEECO® solid fuel burner ignition systems are designed for the fast retrofit of pulverized coal burners. The reduced diameter of the igniter carrier tube makes installation quick and easy. The tube can be placed in the annulus or through the center with little or no internal modifications.
ZEECO Start-Up Burners (SUB) are designed for the reliable start-up of recirculating bed boilers. Utilizing high-energy direct spark ignition, ZEECO SUBs do not require a separate igniter train, increasing the overall system reliability. Featuring a dual cylinder retraction mechanism, the system safely and reliably retracts firing end components away from the harsh recirculating bed environment when not in operation. An optional throat damper can be included to completely isolate the SUB from the bed when not in operation.
Zeeco offers a complete line of integrated flame scanners that provide reliable flame detection, and superior background flame signal suppression for single and multiple burner applications. Each ZEECO® ProFlame™ and ProFlame+™ model is easy to configure, simple to set up, and uniquely designed for safer operation in hazardous or nonhazardous areas.
The ProFlame is designed for smaller applications and offers an adjustable flame relay pull-in time, service dipswitch, adjust dipswitch, and raw flame signal measuring pins for advanced troubleshooting and signal analysis.
The ProFlame+ is designed for larger applications and has similar features to the ProFlame, with more intricate tuning to discriminate a target flame from a background flame, additional flame relay dropout time, separate flame-on and flame-off threshold settings for the frequency components of the flame signal, and a PC software interface.
ZEECO® Burner Management Systems (BMS) and Boiler Control Systems (BCS) are engineered with thorough knowledge of industry standards and environmental regulations to ensure plant operations remain in compliance. Each system is crafted by experienced engineers and qualified electrical and instrument technicians in Zeeco’s ISO 9001-2015 certified manufacturing and test facility. We also offer Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with hardwire simulation to reduce the commissioning process from weeks to days.
While other systems exclude critical control and multi-layer diagnostic safety and alarm features, ZEECO BMS and BCS include these loops and First-Out annunciation points as standard. The ZEECO controls package includes fully-metered firing rate, 3-element feedwater, and draft control with O2 trim. Depending on the application, additional loops may be included for steam coil air preheaters, lower drum heaters, oil pumps, VFD, and deaerator controls.
Physical airflow modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimize combustion air systems and streamline solution development. Zeeco is the only major combustion company that offers physical airflow modeling and our Z-Flow™ Technology provides clients with real time performance feedback through testing simulations to help assess, analyze, modify, correct, and design airflow systems – taking the guesswork out of the optimization process. Our multi-disciplined engineers put the latest in CFD to work to demonstrate product integrity for customer solutions.
Zeeco is the world leader in aftermarket combustion products. We offer replacement components for ZEECO® equipment, as well as other manufacturers – all at economical prices. While Zeeco’s normal response and ship times are some of the fastest in the industry, expedited deliveries are our specialty. Our products are only part of the equation. It is the people behind the products – engineers with extensive combustion experience – that elevate our Aftermarket group from the role of a mere supplier to that of a true partner in your long-term success.
With a ZEECO® turnkey solution, you will gain access to a single point of contact throughout the entire project and the full support of Zeeco, 24/7. There are no contractual layers between the customer, the OEM burner equipment supplier, and the contractors. Because all project phases are handled by one team, with a single vision, there are no shortcuts, compromises, or disconnects. With Zeeco “handling the details,” your own resources – engineers, time, and dollars – are available for other operational needs.
