Catalytic Burners and Oxidizers
Built upon our catalytic substrate technology, PCI has several very small to medium sized catalytic burner products in development for a variety of fuels including methane, propane, butane, gasoline and JP-8. Emissions are very low. For example, a natural gas fueled version of our low NOx and low CO burner demonstrated emissions of CO less than 2 pm and NOx less than 0.3ppm.
Applications of our Catalytic Burner and Oxidizer
- Stirling engine
- Low NOx cook-top burner
- Thermelectric generator
- Industrial process burner
- Portable heaters
- Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) generator
- Liquid fueled microturbine
- Fuel Cell System Oxidizer
Our gas burner technology was developed under an NSF program with promising results including flameless catalytic combustion of natural gas with CO less than 2 ppm, CH4 less than 2 ppm and NOx less than 0.3 ppm.
PCI’s inerting burner and fuel reformer start burner are two innovations that will help alleviate the innate difficulties of fuel cell system startups. PCI’s anode gas oxidizer uses an innovative catalytic technology to not only oxidize volatile tail-gas emissions, but to recycle waste heat.
PCI-s stirling engine burner thrives on high sulfur logistics fuels and offers engine manufacturers a unique solution for various engine sizes, quick startup and high system efficiency.
