Separated Over-Fire Air Systems

Designed to complete combustion while aggressively suppressing NOx formation, RJM's precision-engineered Separated Over-Fire Air (SOFA) and Under-Fire Air systems introduce staged air at optimal momentum and trajectories to ensure low emissions, high carbon burnout, and stable furnace operation.

Key features

RJM has developed its own, patented solution to deliver additional air into the centre of the fireball from below. It is a relatively low-cost solution and delivers further NOx reductions without the need for additional levels of secondary measures such as SCR or SNCR.

Outstanding performance

  • RJM’s patented Separated Under Fire Air (SUFA) system
  • Injects secondary air from the bottom of the furnace into the centre of the rotating fireball
  • Captures carbon in the centre of the fireball that would otherwise be left unburnt
  • Delivers lowest possible NOx on a T-fired unit
  • Enables firing to operate at low stoichiometry
  • High efficiency

Plant applications

  • EPK Kilroot. Part of additional work to bring NOx down from 300mg/Nm3 to <200mg/Nm3
