Press Release Summary:
Designed for gas-fired heat treating furnaces, NGEA-4-3000 delivers up to 70% drop in NOx emissions coupled with 5% increase in fuel efficiency. OSCOM (utilizing Oscillating Combustion Technology) reduces NOx by creating successive fuel rich and lean zones of combustion within flame envelope. At optimal frequencies and amplitudes, flame temperature is reduced, resulting in lower NOx with same energy input. OSCOM system installs in few hours and integrates with existing control system.

Precision Q Systems Introduces a Cost-Effective NOx Emissions Reduction System for Gas-Fired Kilns, Ovens, Heat Treating Furnaces and Boilers
Columbus, Ohio, August 2nd 2004 - Precision Q Systems, LLC, manufacturer of the OSCOM family of emissions control and fuel efficiency systems, is pleased to announce the launch of its model NGEA-4-3000 designed to deliver up to a 70% drop in NOx emissions coupled with up to a 5% increase in fuel efficiency. OSCOM provides a cost-effective retrofit NOx reduction system for gas-fired heat treating furnaces.
OSCOM (utilizing Oscillating Combustion Technology) reduces NOx by creating successive fuel rich and lean zones of combustion within the flame envelope. At optimal frequencies and amplitudes, the flame temperature is reduced which results in lower NOx while maintaining the same energy input. Additionally, the increased luminosity of the fuel rich portion of the flame results in efficiency improvements by as much as 5%. OSCOM technology has provided significant NOx reductions with indirect heating radiant tube burners as well as nozzle mix direct-fired systems. OSCOM valves have been tested to over 110 million cycles with no failures.
The OSCOM system installs easily in the natural gas train, near the burner, and optimizes flame characteristics using its patented technology. Installation requires only a few hours of downtime including integration with the customer's existing control system.
Natural gas prices have increased nearly 300% in the last decade. The need for a cost-effective retrofit solution for kilns and furnace operators has never been greater. Managing Director J. R. Gaines, Jr. stated, "Demand for our OSCOM system is being driven by concurrent crises in air quality and fuel costs. The system combines a dramatic reduction in harmful emissions with an economic payback through increased fuel efficiency". Regions such as southern California, the San Joaquin Valley and southern Texas, are enforcing ever increasing NOx reduction requirements, such as AQMD Rule 1146.2, for commercial boilers, industrial kilns and furnaces.
