Technological innovation relies on pilot testing. On July 9, 2026, the BNTET team visited Henan Polytechnic University (HPU) to conduct an in-depth, strategically significant exchange centered on their jointly established "Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center."
This visit was not only a milestone review of past joint achievements but also a strategic university-enterprise summit aimed at future industrial kiln upgrades. As an innovation incubator co-developed by both parties, the center is becoming a golden bridge, paving the "last mile" for transforming scientific research on rotary kilns and clean, high-efficiency combustion into market-ready commercial products.
On-Site Inspection: Witnessing the Core Competencies of the R&D Center
Stepping into the technologically advanced and dynamic Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center, the BNTET team conducted an on-site inspection of the operational status of the multi-channel burner test rig dedicated to rotary kilns and the fully automatic kiln thermal comprehensive testing system.

From the initial planning blueprints to the current installation of cutting-edge equipment, this pilot testing facility is now equipped with powerful capabilities for microcomputer-controlled parameter acquisition, high-capacity flame flow and temperature field simulation testing, and real-time monitoring of flue gas desulfurization and denitrification. Witnessing these hard-earned technological achievements firsthand fostered a highly enthusiastic atmosphere during the on-site exchange.
In-Depth Symposium: Deepening Industry-Academia-Research Collaboration for Practical Application
During the symposium, both teams engaged in a pragmatic discussion, putting aside formalities to focus on the shared goal of accelerating project implementation. They explored how to further optimize and activate this joint facility:
Project Incubation and Market Acceleration: Both parties confirmed that BNTET's next-generation intelligent, high-power multi-channel burner for rotary kilns will be the first key project introduced to the center for full-condition pilot maturation. By scientifically comparing simulation data and conducting high-frequency algorithm optimizations, the R&D cycle is expected to be reduced by over 50%, ensuring the product is fully mature upon its global market launch. Concurrently, both parties will explore the extended application of this technology in cutting-edge environmental protection equipment, such as industrial solid waste and hazardous waste incinerators.
Resource Sharing and Platform Empowerment: The center's hardware and software resources will be further optimized. By leveraging HPU's academic strengths in engineering thermophysics, multiphase fluid mechanics, and kiln thermal engineering, combined with BNTET's precision manufacturing and system integration capabilities, the "Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center" will be built into a benchmark demonstration platform for high-efficiency rotary kiln combustion technology in the Central Plains region.
On-Site Talent and Practical Teams: A dual-mentorship system of "University Professors + Corporate Engineers" is being comprehensively promoted to effectively implement the deep integration of "Industry-Academia-Research-Application." Currently, an innovation team led by Ph.D. and master's students majoring in thermal energy and heavy equipment engineering is conducting hands-on research directly at the center. This model not only resolves the technical bottlenecks of balancing low-NOx emissions and combustion efficiency in high-power rotary kilns but also provides a steady stream of high-end, applied technical talent for BNTET's international operations.
Mutual Commitments: A Shared Vision for a Promising Future
The representative from Henan Polytechnic University stated:"The joint construction of the 'Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center' is a paradigm of the university's commitment to industry-academia-research-application integration. The university will continue to dedicate research resources to strengthen the seamless connection between simulation experiments and pilot platforms. We are not only applying our research domestically but also projecting our scientific achievements into the broader global industrial kiln and rotary kiln equipment market through BNTET's mature international trade network."
Mr. Wang Xin, General Manager of BNTET, remarked:"This R&D center is the bedrock of BNTET's technological innovation. We will continue to increase financial investments and allocate industrial resources to its development. Through a closed-loop mechanism of 'the enterprise setting the questions, the university providing the answers, and pilot tests proving the results,' we aim to transform this Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center into the birthplace of thermal technology innovation for rotary kilns and modern environmental incinerators, ensuring every core technology shines on the international stage."
Moving Forward Together to Build the Future
The in-depth exchange regarding the jointly built Clean Combustion Technology R&D Center once again validates the formidable power of deep university-enterprise integration between BNTET and Henan Polytechnic University.
Standing at this new starting point, both parties will use the R&D center as the core engine and deepened industry-academia collaboration as the catalyst. By continuously advancing comprehensive cooperation in core technology breakthroughs, achievement transformation, and talent cultivation, more green, energy-saving, and highly efficient rotary kiln combustion and industrial incineration technologies representing the industry's vanguard will emerge from here—ultimately empowering the high-quality development of the global industrial kiln sector!
