Abstract:

Diluted, mild or flameless oxy-fuel combustion has shown in the past years huge success as an optimization tool for different high temperature applications. This innovative combustion technology has a lower flame temperature, more uniform temperature distribution and low concentrations of oxygen as well as nitrogen inside the furnace, leading to low fuel consumption and very low NOx levels. In this work, we analyze the optimization processes of different types of copper anode furnaces (fix, rotary) with Messer Oxipyr burners, which led to impressive savings and ecological improvements for the customers. A review of the available literature, on this topic, is also given.
