Abstract
A couple of years ago, an investigation on pressurised combustion was initiated in our company to tackle two drawbacks of present technology. Pollution abatement from flue gases is costly, mainly because of the big volumetric flow which has to be manipulated. At the same time, combustion to supply heat is rather inefficient for many processes. This inefficiency is usually eliminated by the production of steam or other hot utilities. However, this only makes sense when these hot utilities can be used in other processes. It is obvious that from process point of view, utility production should be minimised in a process plant.
