Patent Protection Granted

A UK patent has today been granted to Bioflame for its revolutionary combustion system.  The patent covers the system's unique ability to promote long flame residence within a relatively small thermal enclosure - so ensuring complete burnout.  It is remarkable that carbon monoxide in the gas stream (a measure of how clean and complete combustion has been) is measured by Bioflame at a daily average of  0.16mg per m³.  The WID limit is 50mg per m³.  By way of comparison, even with catalytic converters, most modern road vehicles emit in excess of this upper limit.

The original Bioflame design was extensively modelled for Bioflame by the University of Sheffield and it was proven that the standard chamber has a residence of 3.9 seconds.  The Waste Incineration Directive insists on a residence time of at least 2 seconds where the combustion temperature must also be above 850 degrees C.  The Bioflame system operates at just over 1000 degrees C and so on both points, Bioflame performs well inside the WID limits.
