Closed-loop Combustion Control (ABACO) |
Among the results obtained by applying INERCO's combustion optimisation technologies in thermal units, it can be remarked the achievement of heat rate improvements between 0.5% and 1.5%, along with simultaneous reductions in NOX emissions in the range of 15%-40%.
