First commercial trial installation in operating facility
ClearSign Technologies Corporation, 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 the Company is installing four ClearSign Eye sensors into a supermajor refinery located on the Gulf Coast of the US.
"We are excited to be installing the first ClearSign Eye sensors into burners in a heater at major refinery," said Jim Deller, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ClearSign.
"These sensors are designed to detect the presence of a functioning burner pilot, which is required to light the main burner flames. The advantage of our technology is that it can do this without being inserted into the flame itself, unlike the typical equipment in use today. We believe that our sensor provides a more durable and reliable flame detecting device, which is of vital importance, and can be of great value to our customers. We are encouraged that, after an extensive technical review by this operator, they chose to take the next step and trial multiple units in one of their operational facilities."
The ClearSign Eye sensors are expected be installed on each burner of a multi burner process heater in a U.S. Gulf Coast refinery in the second quarter of this year.
