AFR Systems
Liquid Alternate Fuel Firing Systems
PH1’s Liquid AFR Firing Systems enable cement plants and industries to safely utilize alternative liquid fuels such as waste oils, spent solvents, and chemical residues. These fuels often come with varying viscosities, impurities, corrosive components, and high safety sensitivity. Our integrated LAFR packages — from unloading to filtration to injection — ensure stable combustion, high energy recovery, and full compliance with global safety standards.
Built for 24/7 operation, our systems deliver consistent dosing, flame stability, safe handling, and reduced fossil fuel consumption, helping plants improve their TSR and sustainability footprint.
Types of Liquid Wastes That Can Be Used
- Spent solvents (acetone, toluene, xylene, MEK, IPA, etc.)
- Waste oils & lubricants
- Paint sludge & thinner wastes
- Chemical by-products
- Distillation residues
- High-calorific liquid industrial wastes
- Grease washings and refinery residues
- Non-hazardous liquid organic waste streams
These liquids often contain solids, water fraction, or corrosive chemicals — all manageable with PH1’s engineered LAFR solutions.
