Thermal Oil Heater Burner Applications
EBICO EP Series thermal oil heater burners provide stable and precisely controlled heat for industrial processes that require continuous operation, consistent temperatures and reliable fuel management. The series covers natural gas, light oil, heavy oil and multi-fuel configurations, making it suitable for both new thermal oil heater installations and fuel conversion projects.
EP-G Series: Natural gas and LPG applications
EP-Q/NQ Series: Light oil and heavy oil applications
EP-GQ/GNQ Series: Gas and oil multi-fuel applications
Through electronic air-fuel ratio control, staged combustion, intelligent PLC integration and customized burner matching, EBICO helps industrial facilities improve combustion stability, reduce emissions and adapt burner output to changing process loads.
Chemical and Petrochemical Processing
In chemical plants, thermal oil heaters are widely used for reactor heating, material drying, distillation, resin production and constant-temperature processing. EBICO EP Series burners provide stable heat output and precise air-fuel ratio control, helping chemical production lines maintain reliable temperature conditions during long operating cycles.
Textile Printing and Dyeing
Textile factories require continuous and controllable heat for dyeing machines, setting machines, drying equipment and fiber production lines. EP Series burners support stable combustion under changing load conditions, helping textile plants improve heating efficiency while reducing fuel waste and emissions.
Asphalt Mixing Plants
Asphalt production needs high-temperature heating for bitumen tanks, aggregate drying systems and thermal oil circulation systems. EBICO EP Series burners can match different fuel conditions and heating capacities, making them suitable for both new asphalt heating systems and burner retrofit projects.
Food Processing
Food processing plants use thermal oil heating for edible oil refining, baking, drying, sterilization and thermal circulation systems. EP Series burners deliver clean and efficient combustion, helping maintain stable process temperatures while supporting safer and more energy-conscious production.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical production often requires accurate and stable heating for extraction, concentration, drying and sterilization processes. With electronic proportional control and full safety interlock protection, EP Series burners help pharmaceutical facilities achieve controlled combustion performance in continuous heating applications.
Building Materials
In building material production, burners are used for drying, curing, extrusion molding and high-temperature process heating. EBICO EP Series burners can be customized according to furnace structure, fuel type and installation layout, supporting stable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Proven EP Series Project Experience
The following projects demonstrate EBICO’s experience in burner selection, low-NOx combustion, automation integration and industrial heating system retrofits. While these projects cover different types of industrial heating equipment, the engineering capabilities involved can also support customized thermal oil heater burner projects.

Tianjin Markor Furniture Biomass-to-Gas Conversion
Application: Furniture production and facility heating
Project scale: Ten EP and ES Series burners covering approximately 48 MW
EBICO participated in the conversion of Markor Furniture’s original biomass combustion system to natural gas. Ten EP and ES Series burners were installed to meet both manufacturing and facility-heating requirements, with the full conversion completed within 90 days.
Before the retrofit, NOx emissions reached approximately 200 mg/Nm³. Following commissioning, emissions were reduced to below 30 mg/Nm³, with denitrification efficiency reaching up to 80%.

Sichuan Hongguang Special Chemical Coal-to-Gas Retrofit
Application: Continuous steam supply for specialty chemical production
Project scale: 25-ton-per-hour coal-to-gas conversion
The original coal-fired boiler system suffered from slow control response and insufficient steam output under full production loads. EBICO introduced low-NOx combustion technology and an automated control system to improve steam supply stability and production continuity.
Staged combustion and central mixing technologies helped suppress NOx formation. According to the project results, boiler thermal efficiency increased by 30%. Compatibility with the existing monitoring system and retained equipment also reduced the scope and cost of the retrofit.

SDIC Jieneng Zhoushan Gas-Fired Power Project
Application: High-load power generation and auxiliary thermal support
Burner solution: Customized EP8GE electronically modulated burner
For this H-class gas turbine combined-cycle project, EBICO configured an EP8GE burner and control system according to the site’s demanding load and operating requirements.
Electronic air-fuel ratio control provides stable combustion under changing loads, while the customized system supports peak-load operation and the project’s hydrogen-blending development direction. The solution demonstrates EBICO’s ability to serve large energy projects requiring high standards of safety, efficiency and control accuracy.

Geely Automotive Manufacturing Project
Application: Automotive coating drying and component production heating
Burner solution: Seven EP7GE burners
EBICO supplied seven EP7GE burners for Geely’s automotive manufacturing facility. The burners provide stable heat for high-temperature drying in the coating workshop and for thermal processes used in component production.
Multi-channel air and fuel distribution, central mixing and staged combustion deliver a combustion completion rate close to 100%. Field measurements showed NOx emissions below 30 mg/m³. Low-noise operation and control-system compatibility also allowed the burners to integrate with the factory’s intelligent production platform.

Shaanxi Baixiang Food Production Retrofit
Application: Food processing and production-line heat supply
Burner solution: EP-GE Series burners with PLC control
Baixiang Food selected EBICO EP-GE Series burners and a PLC control system for its Shaanxi production facility. Stable heat output helps maintain consistent processing conditions and reduces quality problems caused by uneven or fluctuating temperatures.
The burner system achieves combustion efficiency close to 100%, while the airflow design can reduce starting electricity consumption by up to 70%. Integrated low-NOx technologies control emissions below 30 mg/Nm³.

Xinjiang Hongguoguo Tomato Processing Plant
Application: Greenhouse heating and tomato drying
Burner solution: EP11GE burner with an integrated PLC control system
EBICO supplied an EP11GE burner solution to provide stable heat for greenhouse temperature control and tomato drying. The PLC system coordinates gas supply, combustion air and furnace temperature in real time, allowing heat output to respond to changing production conditions.
The completed system maintains NOx emissions below 30 mg/m³ while delivering uniform and reliable heat for both agricultural cultivation and tomato processing.
