Topic: 43Abstract:
Diluted, mild, or flameless oxyfuel combustion has shown huge successes in past years 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 rotary and reverberatory furnaces (fix, tiltable) with Messer Oxipyr® burners, which led to impressive savings, dross reduction, and ecological improvements for the customers. A review of the available literature on this topic is also given.
