Operating with a flame-less combustion which takes place in a three-dimensional reticulated medium with superior thermal properties, porous ceramic burner is characterized by higher burning rates, increased flame stability with low noise emissions, and controllable, homogeneous combustion-zone temperatures which lead to a reduction in NO_x and CO emissions.

Due to the following advantages of a porous ceramic burner, it can be applied in a variety of domestic and industrial applications.

• High power turndown ratio of up to 1:30.
• High power density with heat loads per cross section up to 8MW m^–2 under atmospheric pressure for methane/air mixtures.
• High combustion stability due to the heat capacity of the porous ceramics.
• Geometrical flexibility, allowing good adaptation to application demands.
