Who are the IFRF?
The IFRF is a worldwide network of over 500 industrial companies and academic institutes working to achieve cleaner and more efficient industrial combustion. The main task of the Foundation is the acquisition and generation of information with which to design flames for the efficient heating of industrial processes, with minimal environmental effects, and thereafter the design of combustion equipment to produce such flames.
With administrative and research headquarters in Tuscany, Italy, the IFRF places at the disposal of its member organisations a body of knowledge and experience which has been accumulated over 50 years of engagement in the field and which continues to be developed and updated through ongoing investigative research and information dissemination.
In addition the IFRF provides consultancy services and education and training opportunities to its members as well as to the international engineering community.
Our Members
Company members come primarily from the following sectors:
| • |
Power generation, petroleum refining, petrochemical and chemical manufacturing. |
| • |
Iron and steel and non-ferrous metal production, cement and mineral processing. |
| • |
Glass manufacturing and other industries where large quantities of fuel are used for power and heat generation and for process heating purposes. |
| • |
Associated combustion equipment manufacture and service provision. |
| • |
Fuels and industrial gas production and distribution. |
| • |
Research into fuel production and utilisation, energy and environmental matters. |
The IFRF has always strived to bridge the gap between the industrial and academic combustion communities. Thus members also include universities working in fields related to industrial combustion.
