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.
