Efficient combustion of liquid fuels
PetroBio’s history began with liquid fuels. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, we supplied Sweden’s growing district heating network with burner technology for heating oil. Today, we deliver advanced and sustainable solutions for a wide range of liquid fuels, from bio-oil to industrial waste.
Which liquid fuels do we handle?
We design burner systems for both conventional and more challenging liquid fuels:
- Bio-oils and wood oils – renewable and fossil-free alternatives.
- Solvents – for example, by-products from paint, chemical, or pharmaceutical production.
- Industrial waste streams – complex mixtures requiring precise control.
- Heavy and light fuel oils – traditional fuels where reliability and operational safety are crucial.
PetroBio’s liquid fuel systems – built for flexibility and control
We adapt our systems to the characteristics of the fuel – viscosity, energy content, contamination level and to the facility’s requirements for capacity, controllability, and emissions.
Advantages of our solutions
- High stability under varying fuel activity.
- Precise control for optimal combustion.
- Burners designed for low NOx and minimized particle emissions
- Automated monitoring and alarm handling.
Applications
PetroBio’s liquid fuel systems are used in:
- District heating plants.
- Energy and power production.
- Chemical industry.
- Waste and recycling facilities.
- Plants with internal by-product streams from production.
How it works – the technology behind our burner systems
Our liquid fuel burner systems combine proven technology with modern automation. The systems include:
- Preheating and viscosity control.
- Different burners optimized for each fuel type.
- Combustion air systems with precise regulation.
- Combustion chambers with tailored geometry for optimal burning.
- Emission control.
Bio-oil – a valuable resource in liquid fuels
Bio-oil is a liquid biofuel produced by converting organic material such as plant residues and by-products from the food industry. Using bio-oil contributes to greater sustainability and a positive climate impact. Bio-oil can be used for heating, energy production, and manufacturing processes.
At PetroBio, we provide customized burner systems for bio-oils, wood oils, and fuel oils. Contact us for tailored advice!
Environment and Sustainability
Liquid fuels don’t have to be fossil-based. Many of our customers are switching to bio-oils or using industrial side streams, which reduces climate impact and increases resource efficiency.
Benefits
- Reduced CO₂ emissions when switching to bio-oils.
- Energy recovery from waste streams that would otherwise be destroyed.
- Flexible adaptation for future fuels.
Service och support
We provide complete solutions from idea to operation:
- Consultation and project planning.
- Customized design.
- Installation and commissioning.
- Ongoing service and remote support.
