Firing systems
Heating systems are technical installations that generate heat through the combustion of suitable fuels. They are used in various applications, with the majority serving to heat buildings and water. While simple stoves and fireplaces were once the most common, they were gradually replaced by boilers and hot-water heating systems. Today, oil and gas heating systems dominate the market, including gas-fired boilers and energy-efficient condensing boilers. To reduce the use of fossil fuels, alternative systems such as pellet and wood chip heating systems are also becoming increasingly important.
Modern industrial combustion systems are often equipped with adjustable blowers that enable precise control of the combustion process. This technology not only improves efficiency but also supports condensing boiler technology, which ensures optimal fuel utilization. With the integration of the RGQ 5 from RMG Messtechnik, combustion systems can now also analyze gas quality parameters such as the methane content, calorific value, and the Wobbe index in real time. This data enables dynamic adjustment of the combustion process to the specific composition of the gas, which further increases efficiency and safety.
Systems without blowers, such as atmospheric burners or natural-draft burners, operate using natural draft and are typically found in simpler applications. Integrating our RGQ 5 gas analyzer offers advantages even for such systems, as the precise determination of gas quality improves combustion stability and reduces emissions.

Optimization of firing systems for industrial applications
In industrial applications, firing systems for gaseous fuels offer reliable and environmentally friendly heat generation that is ideal for flexible and demand-oriented energy supply. With the expansion of the gas network and the availability of natural gas in most locations, gas firing systems have established themselves as versatile solutions, particularly due to the advantages of clean combustion without ash formation and the elimination of fuel storage.
By integrating the RGQ 5, the functionality of industrial firing systems is significantly optimized. The RGQ 5 measures the gas quality precisely and enables continuous optimization of the fuel-air ratio. This is particularly important when using varying fuels such as liquid gas, biogas or mine gas, as their compositions often fluctuate. Our RMG RGQ 5 gas measurement device provides real-time data on critical parameters such as calorific value and Wobbe index, allowing combustion adjustments to be made more quickly and accurately. This ensures more stable combustion, lower emissions and greater energy efficiency.
The RGQ 5 from RMG contributes to safe and efficient system control, particularly for fuels with varying calorific values and components such as hydrogen sulphide, for example when using sewage gas or landfill gas. This minimizes the risk of corrosion and increases process reliability. A calorific value measurement provides information about the benefits.

Efficient firing systems for low emissions and high performance
Combustion systems are characterized by numerous technical features and advantages that enable efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly combustion. A key component of such systems is the gas control loop—also known as a gas ramp—which ensures safe and precise combustion in steam or hot-water boilers. With the support of the RGQ 5, the gas control loop is enhanced with continuous quality analysis . Fluctuations in gas composition can be detected early and compensated for, thereby maintaining stable combustion conditions.
Gas burner systems are another key component and are designed differently depending on the power range. For smaller plants (up to 10 MW), monoblock burners with integrated blowers are common, while in larger plants, the blower is installed separately. Larger systems rely on modulating burners, which offer precise control of the fuel-to-air ratio. With the RGQ 5 gas analyzer from RMG, these controls can be even more precise, as the gas quality parameters are directly integrated into the control system.
O₂ control minimizes the residual oxygen content in the flue gas to about 2%, which further improves efficiency. In combination with the RGQ 5’s gas quality analysis, CO control becomes even more effective, as the combustion process can be continuously adjusted to the specific properties of the fuel. This significantly reduces exhaust emissions and energy consumption.
For larger burners, frequency control of the fan motor is standard to efficiently adjust the airflow. Our gas analysis device, the RGQ 5, optimally complements this combustion technology by analyzing gas quality in real time, which leads to further optimization of the air supply and maximum energy efficiency.
