About Petro - Company History

Company History

Since its beginning in 1964, Petrokraft has been active in developing and supplying heavy fuel oil burners for a wide range of applications. Customer types include power companies, county councils, ship-owners and various industries, whilst applications range from power plant furnaces to district heating stations.

Still Going Strong

One of the earliest products, the PETRO Low-pressure Air Atomising Burner, was designed in the early sixties. Thanks to its robust construction and high quality design, it is still to be found in many combustion systems around the world. We provide a prompt and efficient spare part delivery service that ensures that even these original burners are still going strong.

More Environmentally Friendly

Increased environmental awareness and a demand for higher output capacities resulted in our PETRO Rotary Cup Burner being developed ten years later. This environmentally friendly and reliable burner, has for the last 20 years, also been sold to the Japanese marine market. Today it is installed in boilers on many vessels sailing under various international flags.

Hybrid Burner

Further product development resulted in the PETRO Lance Burner with the capability to burn either gas or oil. This burner provides customers with an economical way to convert existing installations into efficient Low-NOx combustion.

Our comprehensive development programme offers design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of burners, fuel/air distribution systems and control equipment for oil, gas and pulverised bio fuel.

Petro Miljö

In 1992 a fully owned subsidiary, PETRO MILJÖ AB, was established. It has further developed the SNCR-process in order to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission. The low NOx emission level we have attained is a success story that has created interest all around the world.

Privately Owned

Since their foundation, the Petro group of companies have been privately owned by one of the world’s leading ship-owners. This stable platform has supported a developing business strategy and resulted in long-term partnerships with our customers. Business partners regard us as a reliable supplier delivering efficient customer-designed and economical solutions.
