Industrial Fuel Flexible Combustion Testbeds at BLAZE – A US National Laboratory Collaboration

National Energy Technology Laboratory, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, are establishing and operating cutting-edge, industry-accessible testbed facilities dedicated to fuel-flexible industrial combustion technologies. The facilities will be designed to rigorously evaluate specialized process design and equipment demanded by the large-scale use of blended fuels. The testbeds will house multiple industrially relevant furnace configurations; activities will focus on burner technology over a range of scales, multi-burner flame interactions, safety and sensor accommodation, and materials testing – complemented by model development that can be leveraged for scale-up and adoption. The development of innovative combustion systems will allow industry to employ adaptable heating solutions that strengthen operations by reducing fuel costs, bolster stability by offering fuel-adaptable technologies, and enhance US manufactures competitive advantage in a global market.
