The installation has a mixed burner manufactured by E & M Combustion and a water-tube steam boiler supplied by Prodinco.

The particularity and complexity of this installation has been that the burner is of mixed type and can operate with a mixture of three fuels: hydrogen, natural gas and CO. In fact, it can work in the modalities of use exclusively of natural gas, or with a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen or a mixture of natural gas and CO. The burner of the manufacturer E & M Combustion is the model JBD-3500 GHC0. 

For its part, the water tube boiler manufactured by Prodinco will produce 1500 KW, at a working pressure of 25 bar.

Combustion system with three fuels provides great versatility to the plant. The operation with hydrogen will allow a greater energy efficiency of the boiler and a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, since it only emits water steam. Hydrogen is considered a clean energy and has a higher calorific value than diesel or other fuels used.
