RMG gas burner systems efficiently convert gas into heat and enable precise control to meet a wide range of output requirements. Gas burners
up to approximately 10 MW are typically designed as
monoblock burners, in which the
combustion air blower is integrated directly into the gas burner.
Larger burner systems, on the other hand, use external blowers and often separate pilot burners to ensure reliable initial ignition at higher outputs.
For
smaller burners (< 1 MW), a simple, two-stage control system is usually used, which is activated based on the steam pressure in the boiler. For higher capacities, continuously controlled,
modular gas burner systems are used. Modern, energy-efficient gas burner systems rely on electronic control that uses separate electric control valves for gas and air supply instead of a mechanical connection. Gas burner systems with integrated controls are optimally adjusted and monitored by a
burner controller to ensure safety and efficiency.
The use of the
RGQ 5 gas analyzer from RMG Messtechnik optimizes the functionality of gas burner systems. The RGQ 5 is used to
determine gas quality and perform continuous
combustion gas analysis by precisely measuring key parameters such as
calorific value,
methane number, and
Wobbe index. This data is integrated directly into the burner control system, allowing the fuel-air ratio to be dynamically adjusted based on the current gas composition. This minimizes flue gas losses, increases efficiency, and enhances process reliability.
Specialized gas burners, such as
orifice burners, use
catalysts to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions while simultaneously increasing thermal efficiency. The integration of RMG’s RGQ 5 gas analyzer into such systems enables even more precise control and contributes to the optimization of emissions control.
