John Zink Company, LLC, a global leader in developing next-generation combustion technologies and environmental solutions, introduces the patented Large Scale Vortex (LSV™) burner.

The LSV burner technology, licensed from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. by John Zink for steam methane reforming applications, is designed with a proprietary fluidic flame stabilizer and mixing “slotted” nozzles that enable the primary flame to operate under ultra-lean conditions. The innovative fluidic flame stabilizer requires little fuel in the primary flame zone. The result? Lower peak flame temperatures provide a substantial reduction in NOx emissions.

The LSV burner is available for process heating applications including various air supply modes (natural, induced, or forced, ambient or preheat), fuel compositions (refinery fuels), and common burner firing configurations.
