Fives is committed to helping manufacturers worldwide reduce their carbon footprints, in line with the Paris 2015 Climate Agreement.
We deliver the most effective low-carbon solutions for combustion processes and customer operations as we work toward a sustainable future.
Together, we can ignite the change.
Innovative combustion systems for a carbon-free future
Our R&D programs and joint innovation projects have led to cutting-edge hydrogen burner designs and electrical heating systems. These solutions are key to completely cutting carbon emissions from your combustion and heating processes:
-
Hydrogen combustion: With the largest hydrogen-compatible burner portfolio in the industry and dedicated R&D facilities, Fives is your partner of choice for combustion of hydrogen.
Our hydrogen burners -
Electrical heating: When green electricity is available, electrical heating is the solution of choice for low- to medium-temperature processes.
e-Ductflame: hybrid hot air generator for drying applications
Reducing CO₂ and NOx emissions with better burners
As an industry leader, we continually develop new products that reduce CO2 and NOx emissions while improving process efficiency:
Low and ultra-low NOx burners
The majority of products in our range offer high-quality combustion and reduce atmospheric NOx levels. Our latest innovations include:
-
The North American EcoFornax,™ a lean, multipurpose premix burner that reduces NOx emissions below 20 ppm
-
The ITAS Dryflame, our latest generation of nozzle mix compact corner burners, ideal for low-temperature applications
-
The Pillard NANOxFLAM® and the Pillard NANOxFLAM® Compact, Fives’ latest ultra-low NOx industrial gas burner based on patented Pillard BLUEMix® technology

Heat recovery solutions
-
The North American Twinbed™II is Fives’ advanced regenerative burner that reduces NOx and CO2 emissions for high-temperature furnaces
- The North American Evenglow™ LNx, combined with its plug-and-play 8480A Recuperator, offers improved temperature uniformity for metal processing lines along with increased energy efficiency
- Pillard INDUCTFLAM® duct burners ensure the highest performance for Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) applications
Pollutant destruction
-
Fives supplies a complete range of volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement technologies. From regenerative thermal oxidizers to sulfur recovery units and ultra-low NOx oxidation solutions, we help you eliminate any pollutant from your exhaust stack
Alternative fuels
Fives aims to optimize energy usage throughout the combustion system and to limit waste.
-
Alternative solid fuels (ASF): The Pillard NOVAFLAM® Evolution is our premium, multichannel burner for rotary kilns in cement plants. Thanks to its unparalleled combustion efficiency, Fives’ burners can co-fire a large amount of carbon-neutral alternative solid fuel while improving clinker quality. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of the cement plant as well as gaseous pollutant emissions.
-
Biomass: The Pillard GRFLAM™ CP burner is designed to fire pulverized biomass in boilers and hot gas generators
-
Biogas: The Pillard NANOxFLAM® and the Pillard BIOFLAM™ burners are able to fire up to 100% biogas even with LHV.
Nearly the entire ITAS product line is biogas-compatible. For complete details of all products, please see our product finder. -
Liquid Waste Fuels: all Pillard burners can be equipped with waste fuel guns to fire on boilers, kilns and incinerators.
