Technology Demonstrates Superior NOx and
Efficiency Performance
TULSA,
Okla., March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign
Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR) ("ClearSign" or the
"Company"), an emerging leader in industrial combustion and sensing
technologies that support
decarbonization, improve operational and energy
efficiency, enable the use of hydrogen as a fuel and enhance safety
while dramatically reducing emissions, announces that following the
installation of a new burner technology into the Texas Gulf coast
facility of a global chemical company, the Company is reporting
selective catalytic reduction ("SCR") level nitrogen oxide ("NOx")
emissions in addition to high heat transfer efficiency within the
heater. The new burner technology, the first of this new "M"
series, will be marketed as ClearSign Core™ M1.
"Over the past two weeks we have started up and run the first
installation of a distinctly new burner technology branded as
ClearSign Core™ M1. This new technology originated from reimagining
the flow paths of fuel, air and flue gases within a burner and is
the product of our internal computational fluid dynamics modelling
led by our Chief Technology Officer, Matthew Martin," said Jim Deller, Ph.D.,
Chief Executive Officer of ClearSign. "The newly installed
burner has demonstrated combined NOx and efficiency capabilities
that outperform all burner technology that we are aware of,
including our own. For instance, our own measurements indicated
that this burner technology achieved sub 2ppm NOx with under 15%
excess air suggesting an efficiency improvement of approximately 3%
compared to other sub 10ppm NOx burners available on the market
today. We believe it is a remarkable accomplishment to achieve
these results in a first article burner taken directly from
computational modelling and into field operations. We would like to
thank both of our Gulf Coast customer and heater manufacturer Tulsa
Heaters Midstream, for their support and for enabling the
demonstration of this project."
"We pride ourselves in providing state of the art heaters to our
customers. We were pleased to work with ClearSign, and to be part
of bringing this new burner technology to market and showing the
combined performance of these burners in our heater," said
Justin Forth, President of Tulsa
Heaters Midstream. "We believe that technology like this allows up
to push the boundaries of clean technology, and enables us to
deliver better products to our customers."
"We have seen notable engagement in this horizontally fired
process heater segment and this new technology was configured
specifically for that market. We have been able to share and
discuss these results with interested parties and have had a
positive response. While initially designed for the horizontal
fired market, we believe that this advanced technology is well
suited for other applications, including boilers," concluded Dr.
Deller.
The new burner, branded as the ClearSign Core™ M1, was installed
on a demonstration basis into a horizontally fired process heater
built by Tulsa Heaters Midstream and will remain in commercial
operation following this successful startup and performance
results. Tulsa Heaters Midstream is a fast growing and innovative
heater provider based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and engaged with ClearSign to
facilitate the demonstration of this new burner technology.
