Plasma burner

UkrPlasma has developed and successfully applied the Microwave Plasma Solid Fuel Ignition System MiPS-SFI. This system is used to burn and stabilize the burning of particulate solid fuels and operates on the basis of a microwave plasmotron.

The Microwave Plasma Solid Fuel Ignition System is, first and foremost, an alternative to burning fossil fuels.

The burner is used on coal boilers of Coal-fired power station in order to heat boilers and stabilize the burning of coal dust without additional high-calorie natural fuels such as gas, fuel oil or diesel. Boilers equipped with plasma burners can be transferred to lower-quality, low-calorie, cheap coal without reducing their performance. In addition, biomass, waste and their mixture can be used as fuels while maintaining the technical, economic and environmental performance of energy units.

The MiPS-SFI has unique design solutions that provide a high efficiency of fuel flow interaction with the plasma torch and allow for a stable combustion in the cold boiler at low specific energy costs.

Additionally, it improves the maneuverability of boiler equipment when changing the load of power units. The smooth and adjustable change of the daily electric load, available with the plasma system for stabilization of fuel combustion modes in the boiler, helps reducing the load from the day level to 30-40% at night time.

Our system are compatible with thermal boilers of different capacity. Indeed, they can be installed both on large thermal power plants with a large installed capacity, and on local boiler equipment.
Our microwave plasma systems are easy to operate and provide a high level of safety, reliability and long service life of its components.

The MiPS-SFI delivers significant economic benefits and pays off quickly by eliminating the cost of expensive fuel, transportation and storage.

Along with this, the use of our technology on your boiler improves its ecological performance due to the elimination of high-sulfur fuel oil from the process and due the more complete burning of the coal.

Plasma activation promotes more efficient and ecological combustion of energy coal and reduces unburnt coal. The transfer of the boiler partly or completely to environmentally friendly and renewable fuels, such as biomass and waste, will significantly reduce the ecological footprint damage caused by burning fossil fuels.

Thus, the use of the MiPS-SFI has the following main advantages:

• Boiler heating and stabilization of combustion modes of coal without the use of fuel oil, diesel or natural gas;
• Burning of low-calorie high-ash cheap coal;
• Low specific energy costs for burning coal;
• Reliable equipment and long service life;
• Improved maneuverability of the boiler;
• Improvement of the boiler's ecological footrpint.

Ukrplasma provides systems with performance from 100 kg/hour to 5000 kg/hour for different types of boilers and different brands of coal. The system has an automated, easy-to-use user interface that provides full compatibility with the client process management software.
