Curtain Flame Ignition System

Optimisation trials for burner design were conducted at Combustion Research Unit (CRU) with different burner variants. The concept involves mounting specially designed small-capacity burners on the roof in a single row across the sinter bed. The flame configuration is such that intense flame touches the top of the sinter bed with uniform heating of sinter mix across the bed width.
