Combustion Services
Combustion Services remain the core work at Exothermic Engineering. Whether it is burner design, burner modification or burner testing, burners are at the center of our interests. Coal pulverizers, coal classifiers, crusher-driers and coal conduits merit similar attention. Our Combustion Services work includes forensics, testing and design, usually for the purpose of either performance improvement or solving a problem. Our forte is combustion systems coordination for optimum performance. The menu below lists some our services in this area.
