Company Announcement - With this product series for outputs of 160 kW to 13 MW, LOESCHE Thermo-Prozess GmbH has its own compact burner series for industrial applications. With an integrated combustion air fan and burner control system, LTP thereby supplements its existing burner product range for the process and heavy industry sector with a practical, tested component. The product series has been developed in cooperation with the well-known burner manufacturer CIB Unigas, headquartered in Italy. The aim of the collaboration was to be able to offer a product for use in thermal plants such as hot gas generators, boilers and process plants of any kind, within the LOESCHE Group and for our customers worldwide. The burners are always delivered fitted to a plant part and in the LOESCHE design as an LTP product.

Quality and availability for global use are features of our products, which is why the new burner series does not simply include a gas burner, but also burners for liquid fuels (light and heavy oils) and dual-fuel burners, which are equipped for both kinds of fuel per burner. Only the highest-quality components from European, predominantly German manufacturers, are used for the burner systems.

With the modular structure of the systems, an individual adjustment can be made with regard to the burner media, the fitting trains and the burners themselves depending on use and/or ambient conditions. In this way, the burners can be used for applications in the temperature range from -40 to +40 °C. This flexibility and the distinguished product features correspondingly attract great interest from end customers and plant manufacturers in the material, metal and process industry. This is why our new burner series, despite only recently being introduced on the market, is being used in the following LOESCHE clinker grinding plants, among others:

• Citeureup P14 clinker, firing of a LOMA® hot gas generator with industrial diesel oil, which is operated on a LOESCHE clinker grinding plant; the country of installation is Indonesia.
• Baturaja clinker, firing of a LOMA® hot gas generator with light oil, which is operated on a LOESCHE clinker grinding plant; the country of installation is Indonesia.
• Xuan Thanh, firing of a LOMA® hot gas generator with industrial diesel oil, which is operated on a LOESCHE clinker grinding plant; the country of installation is Vietnam.

For LTP, service comes first
Comprehensive customer services with fast and personal support in the pre- and after-sales department are important for reliable operation. We have therefore expanded our range of services in parallel with the burner development. LTP engineers are thus available worldwide for commissioning, monitoring and optimisation tasks, for example in China, India, the Ukraine, Romania or Algeria. At the same time, we will also be supported by various partner companies and subsidiaries in South America, the Middle East, Asia, Russia, Australia as well as New Zealand and their engineers.

Cutting-edge technology – planned and implemented by LTP
The subject of measuring, open-loop and closed-loop control engineering as well as the communication of the components with such things as process control systems is becoming more and more important, as are increasing security requirements or local requirements. Our new burner series also takes these demands into consideration. We are carrying out the implementation of our control engineering and programming, the switching cabinet design and the assembly in collaboration with our sister company LOESCHE Automation LAG.
