Can anyone help with sourcing an air atomised lance and nozzle to inject tar into a furnace which is maintained at 1250deg C.
Due to other constraints the tar(a waste product) can only be heated in a vented to atmosphere vessel to a temp of say 120degC.(Flash point is 196degC). At this temp the tar is at a viscosity of 410cSt.(Its characteristic is close to bitumen).

The atomisation does not need to be as efficient as a conventional burner firing into a furnace because there is a high temp (1250degC) maintained in the furnace by other gas burners. Also there is plenty of combustion air within the furnace.

Flow rate is 80kg/hr max (SG at 120deg ~ 1.22kg/litre).
