Our award winning innovation

Our latest innovation, for which we’ve received the King’s Award, is a highly advanced low NOx burner specifically designed for demanding industrial applications. This innovative burner can seamlessly switch between hydrogen and natural gas, addressing critical safety and performance challenges.

Key features of our multi-fuel burner include:

  • Unique purging system: Enhances operational safety by efficiently managing hydrogen’s broad explosive limits.
  • Advanced multi-fuel capability: Allows for pre-blended, independent, or simultaneous combustion of hydrogen and natural gas, each managed through separate gas trains to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Optimised control algorithm: Ensures safe and stable operation under variable external conditions, significantly enhancing operational flexibility and reliability.

Driving sustainability and decarbonisation

With increasing industry demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies, our latest innovation plays a crucial role in helping our customers achieve their net-zero goals. By enabling the safe and efficient use of hydrogen alongside conventional fuels, our solution supports the broader global drive towards industrial decarbonisation.

A tradition of innovation

Since we were established in Rochdale in 1964, we have consistently been at the forefront of low Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) burner technology. Having previously been honoured twice with Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in 1998 and 2010, this latest recognition underlines our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainable engineering.
