Core offering

ALZETA Corporation designs, develops, and manufactures advanced combustion equipment, including ultra-low NOx burners, exhaust gas oxidizers, and proprietary porous ceramic and metal-fiber burner materials (Duratherm, CSB, Pyromat, NanoSTAR, FireStar). The company's surface-stabilized premixed combustion technology is used for industrial and commercial heating (steam, air, thermal oil, fragile fluids), semiconductor waste gas abatement, and VOC/PFC destruction. ALZETA also provides custom product development, contract R&D, and licensing of its burner and oxidizer technologies to system integrators.

Product overview

ALZETA Corporation is a platform of advanced combustion technologies consisting of two main product categories: Advanced Materials and Exhaust Gas Oxidizers. Advanced Materials includes Duratherm™ (porous ceramic composite), CSB™ (metal-fiber burner), Pyromat™ (sintered alloy mat), NanoSTAR™ (gas turbine burners), FireStar™ (composite ceramic), and Custom Porous Materials. Exhaust Gas Oxidizers includes the EDGE™ product line (QR for perfluorocarbons, GC catalytic oxidizers, SB for solids-forming gases). The company also offers specialized Ultra-Low NOx Burners (sub-5 PPM) serving Gas Turbines and Biofuels applications. ALZETA provides clean air solutions for industrial and commercial users worldwide, including semiconductor, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, and power generation industries.

Products and services

• Duratherm Patented porous ceramic composite material with excellent radiant properties that generates quiet, low-NOx flameless combustion with uniform heat transfer. Operates on natural gas, propane, low-BTU biofuel, syngas, and hydrogen. For industrial and commercial heating applications requiring ultra-low emissions.
• CSB (Ceramic Surface Burner) Ultra-low NOx metal-fiber burner made from flexible alloy metallic weave material. Surface heat flux ranges up to 1.50 million BTU/hr-ft2 (4,730 kW/m2) with 8 to 1 turndown capability and capacities up to 150 million BTU/hr (44 MW). For industrial boilers and air heating applications.
• Pyromat Sintered alloy mat with ported holes, specialized for applications where large amounts of solids accumulate. Exhibits more thermal radiation than CSB for radiative heat transfer applications.
• NanoSTAR Ultra-low NOx burners for industrial gas turbines, delivering proven single-digit NOx emissions at elevated pressures and temperatures with rugged sintered metal fiber construction. For gas turbine OEMs and operators.
• FireStar Composite ceramic material combining high-temperature and insulating properties of Duratherm with high flux operation and durability of CSB. Built as modular arrays for atmospheric boilers and water heaters.
• Custom Porous Materials High-porosity ceramic and metal composite materials with high variability in porosity and composition, engineered to fit various application-specific requirements.
• EDGE QR (Inward-Fired Duratherm Oxidizer) Inward-fired Duratherm oxidizer for high-performance VOC and PFC abatement achieving up to 99.9999% destruction and removal efficiency (DRE). Quick response with start-up and on-line in less than one minute. For semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
