An effective catalyst based on ceramic block support with honeycomb structure made of synthetic cordierite with low coefficient of temperature linear expansion has been developed. Flameless heat generator based on oxidation of methane or propane-butane mixture has been designed. Laboratory and bench testing revealed that the effectiveness of the generators is identical to foreign analogues. The production of self-sustained flameless heat catalytic generators and the catalysts have been adjusted.
