HQ ANGIARI - CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

Angiari (VR) - Italy

Combustion Research Centre: 3,600 sq.m.  Angiari

One of the major Centres of Excellence for Research and Development is the Combustion Research Centre in Angiari, Italy, where all phases of combustion are studied, testing industrial products up to 22 MW.
This center opened in 1983 and has continued to grow over the years, with a major expansion in the early 2000s. One of the cornerstones of research has always been the search for new combustion technologies that can reduce emissions and fuel consumption while providing ever higher performance.

Facts and figures:
  • 3,600 sq.m. dedicated specifically to research and development (the facility boasts more than 10,000 sq.m.).
  • 17 test stations for boilers with burners from 10 kW to 22 MW.
  • 22 stations for boiler-burner coupling tests.
  • 11 stations for burner operation training.
  • Over 10 technical engineers are employed daily as part of a continuous improvement process.
  • Over 1,000 test reports per year.
