Besides natural gas fuels, Altex has expertise in solid fuels NOx emissions reduction. Using modeling tools and experience, Altex has been able to design and test low NOx burners, which typically reduce NOx by over 80% from baseline levels. These burners use a very low cost NOx control approach, based on fuel/air mixing modifications. Fixed bed, cyclone and suspension fired systems have been modified to control NOx.

Fuels addressed include coal, biosolids, yard waste, paper waste, plastic, rice straw, dairy manure and chicken litter. Besides addressing emissions, these approaches also resolved the significant materials handling issues with these challenging fuels.
