Developing and “proving” the efficacy of combustion systems which both “reduce NOx emissions to minimal levels”, and “bring down electricity running and equipment capital costs”, has won Dunphy Combustion, a past winner of a Queen’s Award for Export, a 2010 Queens Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
Following long term-research, Dunphy engineering designers have developed new technologies including high accuracy linear fuel metering valves; electronic fuel/air ratio control systems capable of changing the ratio between the two fuel valves while maintaining the same fuel input in relation to air volume ratio, and an electronic control system programmable for separate fuel /air ratio profiles for different fuels. These have been integrated with its patented axial air flow combustion burner to achieve the “low NOx, low cost combustion solution”, which is reportedly useable in all types of CHP, heat/steam generation, and waste-to-energy processes. Chairman Malcolm Dunphy (pictured with MD Sharon Kuligowski) said: “We have already successfully designed low carbon combustion systems, and are now delighted that our team has been formally recognised for its NOx emission reduction work.”
