GAS APPLICATION

Oxygen enrichment

 

The combustion air required for the process is enriched with oxygen and introduced into the melting zone via tuyeres.

Oxygen enrichment particularly achieves the following advantages in a shaft furnace: 

Reduction in coke rate
Increase in performance
Reduces post-combustion burden
Faster reaction times
Greater flexibility
Higher temperatures in the melting zone
Even temperature distribution across the furnace cross-section
Lower production costs
Lower emissions
