COMBUSTION OPTIMIZATION
COMBUSTION OPTIMIZATION PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONSUnited Process Controls (UPC) offers Solutions that significantly lower fuel consumption, maintenance costs and emissions. They are used in high temperature environments such as furnaces, boilers, incinerators, power plants, fired heaters, kilns, etc. These simple engineered solutions are composed of a reference air box, a Oxymit transmitter or Protherm controller, and an Oxyfire Oxygen Sensor.
Benefits from controlling combustion are immediate and calculable. Installation of the Oxyfire high temperature Oxygen Analyzer in the Hot Zone allows you to monitor and control your combustion process, exactly where it makes sense to control it!
A 2% reduction of excess air in a combustion process lowers fuel consumption by up to 4%! With the same excess air reduction, NOx emissions can be reduced by up to 40%. With our zero and span capabilities, your company may even be able to satisfy your environmental regulatory obligations.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS/INDUSTRIES:
STEEL REHEAT
The Oxyfire in-situ oxygen sensor measures the excess oxygen and allows the reheat furnace operator to observe and control the amount of air used in the combustion process. - For optimizing your ConSteel™ lines with our novel solution.more info
ALUMINIUM MELTING
Measure the excess oxygen during the melt process to increase quality and decrease fuel costs. more infoPROCESS CHEMICAL
Increase production and lower operating costs with in-situ oxygen analysis for reactors such as sulphur burners. For more information please contact us directly.REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL
We offer the refinery and petrochemical industries the opportunity to optimize their combustion system, enhance process control, and minimize emissions..more info
GLASS & CERAMICS
Optimize your combustion system, by "trimming" the air/fuel ratio on their current combustion system.more info
INCINERATION
Maintain the proper excess oxygen level required to complete the burning process for reduced air pollution and fewer excursions while meeting your permit requirements.more info
Excess Oxygen Controls:
High-temperature in-situ Oxygen Sensors:
The Oxyfire line is the industry's best value for applications in the 1200°F to 3000°F range including: boilers, steel reheat furnaces, glass furnaces, chemical / petrochemical furnaces and reformers, and incineration.more info
Low-temperature in-situ Oxygen Sensors:
The LOROX line provides long-lifetime measurement in environments ranging from ambient to 1250°Fmore info
Instrumentation:
Controllers / Transmitters - The Protherm Controllers can be can be configured for either trim control or oxygen monitoring, while the OxySender provides cost-effective 4-20 mA transmission of oxygen concentration and temperature.more info
