SimBurn
Cloud-Based Simulation Platform for Regenerative Burners
80% of new aluminum furnaces now adopt regenerative burner technology — but selecting, configuring, and optimizing these burners remains complex and costly. SimBurn is a cloud-native simulation platform that lets engineers evaluate burner performance, compare technologies, and simulate fuel scenarios including H&sub2; and oxy-fuel — all from a web browser, with no installation or expensive computing hardware required.

Cloud-Native Platform
Access high-fidelity combustion simulations from any browser — no software installation, no capital cost for computing hardware. Your engineering team can evaluate burner options in hours, not weeks.
Regenerative Burner Specialist
Purpose-built for the regenerative burners adopted by 80% of new aluminum furnaces. Simulate heat recovery cycles, flame behavior, and thermal efficiency with validated models.
ROI Before Purchase
Evaluate retrofit potential and compare burner technologies before committing capital. Simulate performance differences to select the best burner for your specific furnace and process.
Emissions & Efficiency Analysis
Quantify the CO₂ and energy impact of different burner configurations and operating conditions. Identify pathways to up to 15% reduction in both energy consumption and emissions.
Fuel Flexibility Simulation
Simulate transitions to hydrogen, oxy-fuel, and enriched air combustion. Evaluate the performance and economic impact of alternative fuels before making infrastructure investments.
Sensitivity Analysis
Run parametric studies across burner settings, fuel compositions, and operating conditions to understand which variables have the greatest impact on efficiency and emissions.
Application Areas
Whether you are selecting new burners, evaluating a retrofit, or planning a fuel transition, SimBurn provides the quantitative insight to make confident decisions.
Burner Selection & Comparison
Compare regenerative burner technologies side-by-side to identify the optimal solution for your furnace type, production volume, and energy targets.
Retrofit Assessment
Evaluate the potential of retrofitting existing furnaces with regenerative burners. Quantify expected energy savings, payback period, and emissions reduction before any capital commitment.
Fuel Transition Planning
Model the impact of transitioning to hydrogen, oxy-fuel, or enriched air combustion on your existing furnace fleet. Understand performance changes, infrastructure requirements, and ROI.
Simulate Before You Invest
Choosing the wrong burner — or the wrong fuel strategy — costs years and millions. SimBurn lets your engineering team compare technologies, quantify ROI, and validate H&sub2; or oxy-fuel scenarios before a single euro is committed.
