Burners

 

Conforma Clad-protected burner components last longer and sustain maximum performance levels by maintaining critical component geometries for extended run times. Our cloth delivery system enables densely packed tungsten carbide to be uniformly applied to complex geometries, providing a protective barrier that wears at a uniform and predictable rate.

 

Common Conforma Clad Burner Components: 

 

  • Spreaders
  • Flame Stabilizer Rings
  • Spreader Support Tubes & Sleeves
  • Nozzles
  • Diffusers
  • Primary Air Vanes
  • Directional Vanes
  • Splitters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Features & Benefits

  • Increased Productivity - Extended burner component life results in fewer equipment shutdowns and component changes, lengthening run-times between maintenance windows.

  • Enhanced Burner Performance - Decreased burner component wear leads to better NOx performance, leaving you with more credits for sale.

  • Superior Erosion Resistance - One sixteenth inch (1.5 mm) of Conforma Clad’s wear protection performs FIFTEEN TIMES BETTER against erosive wear than an equivalent layer of typical overlays and FIFTY TIMES BETTER than plain carbon steel. And it is up to TWENTY-FIVE TIMES MORE EROSION RESISTANT than high-temperature stainless steels.

  • Proven Results - Conforma Clad’s premium technology has been used in coal-fired power plants for more than 15 years, extending the life of burners, gas fans, thermowells, ash conveyance equipment, pitot tubes, pulverizer components and other plant equipment.
