“We are very excited about the Ferroflame LowNOx burner, our emission- and cost-efficient alternative to minimize NOx emissions from the combustion process. Its functionality and performance with natural gas have been proven on-site.

- Increased pellet homogeneity and quality
- Increased refractory lifetime
- Optimization of NOx vs Opex with digital solutions possible
