Cost Effective, Alternative Fuels for Industrial Burners

Alternative Fuels

Solid Fuel Test Burner

Currently, our burner solutions can fire over 13 different types of fuels including liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels.



Cost-Effective Fuels

Turbulent Diffusion is continuously looking for additional fuels to fire. Currently, our burner solutions can fire over 13 different types of fuels including liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels. The newest addition to these fuels is carpet and synthetic gas. We’re also experimenting with different methods of fuel co-firing – for example, oil with natural gas. Firing 30% oil and 70% gas offers all the heat transfer benefits of oil while keeping fuel costs low.

Alternative Fuels

We continuously research alternative fuels to reduce emissions while still providing maximum heat transfer and efficiency. We have several installations firing various fuels.  Some of these fuels include:

  • Heavy Oil
  • Light Oil
  • Liquid Methanol
  • Waste Oil
  • Recycled Oil
  • Natural Gas
  • Synthetic Gas
  • CNCG’s
  • DNCG’s 
  • SOG’s
  • Coal Petroleum Coke
  • Wood

The benefits of alternative fuels from a commercial perspective can include:

  • Better fuel economy
  • Greater availability
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Reduced maintenance costs
