Introduction

Fuel Saving (Reducing CO2 Emission) is the utmost responsibility of most industries nowadays.

Steel, Aluminum, and Glass melting industries require extensive fuel consumption.

Our mission is saving fuel for those industries and reducing CO2 emission.

 

Saving fuel at the combustion system in these industries can be categorized by 

Combustion System Optimizing and Waste Heat Recycling.

Combustion System Optimizing

Air/Fuel Ratio Optimizing  

Combustion system generally includes 5~10% more air than theoretic ratio for practically efficient combustion. The excess air is also heated up to above 1,000 degrees consuming additional fuel. So by optimizing the air/fuel ratio, excess fuel consumption is reduced.

Replacing Combustion Air with Pure Oxygen Partially  

About 20% of air is Oxygen and only Oxygen is required to react with Fuel. Other 80% (mainly Nitrogen) is automatically mixed in the combustion process and consumes fuel. Therefore, replacing the air with Pure Oxygen partly, the energy to heat the Nitrogen can be saved with the result of higher flame temperature.

Replacing Combustion Air with Pure Oxygen Fully  

When 100% combustion air is replaced by Pure Oxygen, no air blower is required, and also it deletes the electricity of the blower motor. Higher flame temperature results in fuel saving since heating the air is deleted in the combustion process.

Waste Heat Recycling

Waste Heat Recuperating System  

About 30~50% of input energy flies via chimney after transferring the energy to furnace for heating or melting materials. Utilizing the waste heat to preheat the combustion air by using Recuperator, more than 20% fuel saving can be achieved. Almost zero maintenance.

Regenerative Combustion  

Regenerative Burners consist with pair(s) and have regenerative materials below the burner (ceramic balls or honeycomb made with high alumina).

When Burner #1 is firing, Burner #2 sucks the waste heat from Burner #1 and preheats the regenerative materials. Once the regenerative materials is heated enough, Burner #2 starts firing and the combustion air pass through the hot regenerative materials.

Roughly about every minute, this cycle repeats. More than 25~30% fuel saving can be achieved. High initial investment and high maintenance cost offsets the fuel saving.
