Advantages of HiCOT:

• High Energy Efficiency (Energy saving & CO2 reduction )
• Low NOx Emission Capability
• Uniform Temperature Distribution in Combustion Chamber
  (Improved Yield and Product Quality )
• Low Noise in Combustion
• Downsizing of Equipment
  (Cost Reduction due to Compact Design)

Japanese government has sponsored HiCOT R&D projects

1) The project of high-performance industrial furnace development (FY1993-1999)
2) Research and development on advanced high-temperature air combustion technology (FY1999-2003)

• Field Testing Project was initiated by MITI and NEDO as a step for dissemination of furnaces equipped HiCOT system.
  
• 1/3 subsidy for project expenditure by NEDO Scope of items to be subsidized:

> design and engineering fee
> equipment procurement & installation cost
> data collection & miscellaneous fee
