Novel Post Combustion Method
Systems consisting of thermal regenerators and laminar-flow burners are being developed step by step for industrial use and tested in industrial facilities. A system was developed for operation with low-calorific fuel gases such as process gases and biogas. The aim is to achieve optimal furnace operation with low energy demand, variable fuel gas input, a high quality of the charge material, and long life. In several development stages, systems were implemented on reheating furnaces in the steel industry.

Energy Savings Potential |
Savings of up to 30% in fuel gas have been achieved relative to recuperative combustion air preheating systems. |
CO2 Emission Reduction Potential |
Reduction of pollutants because flue gas is utilized. |
Costs |
Further cost reductions are possible due to the use of inexpensive low calorific-value gases such as process and biogas. |
