About
Lucideon Limited awarded a contract to Therser UK Ltd for the design, supply, and installation of modifications to an existing Intermittent blended Natural Gas / Hydrogen Kiln, transitioning it to fire on 100% hydrogen and various hydrogen-natural gas mixes while maintaining safe and efficient operation.
The kiln serves as a laboratory/research platform for client-driven firing profiles, from heavy clay to advanced ceramics, and the upgrade must preserve its current capabilities, including a maximum operating temperature of 1750°C, reduction capability, unchanged product setting volume, heating ramp rate of approximately 300°C/hr, and natural gas/hydrogen blend controlled on a % volume basis.
The contract value is £272,343.
