"Opportunity Fuels" Help with Rising Fuel Costs

With conventional fuel (oil, natural gas) costs rising, users are turning to alternative fuels for all of their combustion needs. Among these "opportunity fuels" are waste and by-product gases that were previously disposed of by flaring, incinerating, or other, non-productive means. Hamworthy Peabody Combustion has been very successful providing burners and burner modifications to burn these fuels, including blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, and other waste gases. Unlike these gases which are usually limited to certain industries (e.g. steel, petroleum, and chemical), one such gas is often available to a wide range of end-users: landfill gas (LFG).
