    Abstract:

    The oxygen combustion technologies are lowering the production costs of many processes since the energy costs are continuously raising. Oxygen is used more and more in the combustion systems technology like oxygen burners, oxygen lancing or oxygen enrichment. In order to increase the capacity or save energy of particular furnaces, Oxyfuel is used to provide discrete oxygen rich areas in a furnace to allow complete combustion separately from a reducing zone or lower the emission volumes. This article analyzes the possibilities and the advantages of oxygen application in different furnaces used for steel production on base of Messer results and literature review.
