Inject productivity into your aluminum operations!
Linde has developed and commercialized several proprietary oxygen-injection techniques, oxy-fuel combustion systems, and aluminum melting burners that enhance the productivity and efficiency of aluminum melting furnaces. Oxygen injection increases the heat available in the furnace for melting by reducing the heat loss due to hot nitrogen in the flue gas. Oxy-fuel combustion for secondary aluminum melting provides many benefits compared to conventional air/fuel combustion. These benefits include:
- Increased flame temperature
- Increased productivity
- Reduction in flue gas
- Fuel savings
Low-temperature oxyfuel combustion technologies (LTOF)
This leading technology works as follows: With low-temperature oxyfuel combustion technology, the burner flame is diluted by the re-circulation of furnace gases, lowering the flame temperature.
Highlights
- More homogenous heating of the furnace
- Higher productivity and energy savings
- Less dross and ultra-low NOx emissions
