For any continuous combustion process at high temperature.
The physical-chemical principle that makes the Hydrobooster profitable in cement — catalyzing hydrocarbon combustion with H₂ and enriching it with O₂ — applies to any industry operating furnaces, boilers, dryers or continuous combustion turbines. What changes is the application engineering, not the principle.
If you have a continuous combustion furnace, we can optimize it
Glass
Glass melting furnaces operate at 1,500–1,600°C with specific thermal consumptions of 4,000–5,500 kcal/kg glass. H₂ injection reduces natural-gas consumption, controls NOx, improves the optical quality of the glass, and reduces SOx emissions in furnaces using fuel oil. Applicable to flat glass, hollow glass (containers), special glass and fiberglass.
Lime
Vertical and rotary limestone calcination kilns for quicklime production (CaO). A twin industry of cement from a combustion standpoint. Direct application of the Hydrobooster ALK with analogous benefits: −kcal/kg lime, +AFR, ↑reactivity, ↓CO₂.
Ceramics
Tunnel and roller kilns for structural ceramics (brick, tile), sanitaryware, tiles, refractories and technical porcelain. H₂ catalysis improves the firing curve, reduces natural-gas consumption and improves product homogeneity.
Pulp and paper
Recovery boilers, biomass boilers, Kraft-cycle lime kilns, and paper dryers. Application: flame stabilization in dual gas-biomass burners, improved black-liquor combustion, and thermal optimization in dryers.
Power generation
Industrial gas turbines, natural-gas power boilers, combined cycles, and cogeneration plants. H₂ injection is a transition path toward H₂/natural-gas blends (up to 30% by volume without major modification) and eventually 100% H₂ operation.
Refining and auxiliary petrochemicals
Charge heaters, refinery furnaces, auxiliary boilers for petrochemical processes. Application: progressive substitution of fossil fuels in auxiliary thermal processes.
