A large Waste to Energy Plant located in the Mid-Eastern U.S. has ordered six Detroit® dual fuel natural gas / no. 2 oil fired burner systems.  The Detroit® Burner Systems feature a unique burner throat shut-off gate system designed to protect the burners when out of service.  Detroit Stoker Company’s proprietary burner throat shut-off gate system is an industry proven design with many years of operational reliability in similar applications.  The gate system features extremely low levels of cooling air and a high degree of reliability expected by today’s boiler operators.  The six Detroit® Burner Systems will be utilized for Start-up, Shut-down and Malfunction (SSM) operating conditions.  The burners will  also ensure on-going boiler MACT compliance and minimize Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions.

The Detroit® Burner Systems are packaged as complete units including:
  • Burner Register
  • Windbox
  • Forced Draft (FD) Fan
  • Throat Shut-Off Gate System & Actuator
  • Retractable Oil Gun
  • Fuel & Atomizing Trains
  • Detroit Stoker Company’s Programmable Logic Control (PLC) based Burner Management System (BMS)
