SUMMARY:SMS zero flame hydrogen hybrid burners
DESCRIPTION:An important area of application for hydrogen in steel production is the field of reheating and heat treatment furnaces. On the way to more environmentally friendly steel production SMS group has developed a flameless, extra-low NOx burner: the SMS ZeroFlame HY2.
This burner can work with outstanding process and environmental performances on any given mixture of hydrogen and natural gas up to 100% of H2, thus accompanying step-by-step the transition to the hydrogen economy from the present paradigm based on fossil fuels combustion.
 
Besides the CO2  emission reduction due to the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier – that reaches a net zero at 100% of hydrogen - the SMS ZeroFlame HY2 confirmed its high performance in terms of flame thermal profile and extra-low NOx emissions, and its high flexibility as it can operate in flame, flameless and over-boost mode at any percentage of hydrogen in the gas mixture.

SMS ZeroFlame HY2 burner design was optimized with the help of Ansys computational fluid dynamics simulation software. The first set of burners was then tested in an experimental test furnace. Through this procedure, SMS was able to confirm the behavior of the burners and to experimentally validate the theoretical model.
The first lot of SMS ZeroFlame HY2 burners will be installed and started up in the first half of 2023.
