Upgrade to existing Natural Gas Roller Hearth Tile Kiln to fire on 100% Hydrogen

The design, supply, and installation of modifications to our existing Natural Gas Roller Hearth Tile Kiln. Our organisation intends to transition the kiln to operate on 100% hydrogen, whist retaining the existing natural gas combustion system and ensuring its safe and efficient operation. The kiln therefore requires the parallel installation of 100% hydrogen rated burners.

The existing asset has been used in the past to investigate the use of Flash Sintering of ceramic tiles is used as a laboratory/research platform for the ceramic tile sector and as such the final design should not compromise the asset's current capabilities, which are; 1170⁰C peak operating temperature, product setting volume to be unchanged.

The existing asset was recommissioned in January 2023 after several years of being offline. It has a fully integrated SCADA control system that manages the kiln automation and combustion control current operation.
