CO and CO₂ Control Considerations

Heat treaters know the essential role they play in making high quality -- and, sometimes, just simply useable -- metals. In today's feature article, read about how furnace atmospheres provide protection and controlled material modification; why endothermic process of gas composition must be carefully controlled; and how the endothermic process of gas composition is measured in furnaces.

An excerpt:

"The main objective of a protective furnace atmosphere is to prevent undesired decarburization, hydrogen embrittlement, oxidation, surface bluing, and soot formation. For the desired metal treatment to be successful, the gas composition must be carefully monitored and strictly controlled. Measuring the concentrations of CO, CO₂, H₂, H₂O, N₂ and CH₄ in the generated endothermic gas atmosphere can help ensure that both the endogas generator and the furnace are operating correctly and prevent any undesired reactions."

thyssenkrupp Steel Europe to Receive Radiant Tube Burner Technology

/ BURNERS COMBUSTION SYSTEM NEWS, FEATURED NEWS, MANUFACTURING HEAT TREAT

HTD Size-PR Logothyssenkupp Steel Europe will receive more than 250 new recuperative burners. These are designated for single ended radiant tubes (I-tubes) and W-Type radiant tubes. Final installation will be at FBA 7 of thyssenkrupp Steel Europe, Bochum (Germany), and delivery of the new combustion system will take place at the end of 2021. Commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.

Tenova LOI Thermprocess placed the order and is part of a wider modernization project of a continuous galvanizing line at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe. The new combustion system, provided by German based burner manufacturer IBS Industrial Burner Systems, meets the highest requirements by targeting NOx-emissions lower than 140 mg/Nm³ @3%O2 – reference at target strip temperatures above 1652°F (900°C).

Managing Partners
IBS Industrial Burner Systems GmbH

“This order is the latest of numerous appreciations of our efforts to provide state-of-the-art combustion systems for our customers,” states Bernd Machovsky, managing partner of IBS. His co-partner, Thomas Wolf, emphasizes, “Our ambition [. . .] is to provide environmentally sound and energy efficient solutions for all kinds of continuous strip lines, no matter if W-, double-P or I-Radiant Tube fired.”

With their LOOPFIRE®-technology, the burner manufacturer is able to achieve very low NOx-emissions simultaneously with highest thermal efficiencies of W-Type radiant tube burners, even when burning gases such as Coke Oven Gas (COG) and Coke-Oven / Blast-Furnace (COG/BFG) Mixed Gas.

Fives to Receive High Efficiency Burners for Silicon Steel Processing

/ AEROSPACE HEAT TREAT, AUTOMOTIVE HEAT TREAT, BURNERS COMBUSTION SYSTEM NEWS, FEATURED NEWS

HTD Size-PR LogoFives, an international industrial engineering group for silicon steel processing lines, will receive high efficiency burners with low emissions. This will help the company as they fulfill recent orders involving the supply of annealing and pickling lines as well as annealing and coating lines to Chinese steelmakers.

The burners were designed and supplied by WS Wärmeprozesstechnik, and with their FLOX® process, Fives will be able to manufacture using the strictest emission values without SCR (selective catalytic reduction) treatment for their furnaces for silicon steel. This was necessary as China’s steelmakers have been demanding combustion technology with lowest NOx emissions in order to meet climate-related goals.

Dr.-Ing. Joachim G. Wünning
President
WS Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH

The silicon strip line with FLOX® burners from WS (pictured above) will assist Fives in their current orders as well as their continued design and supply of machines, process equipment, and production lines in various sectors. These sectors include steel, aerospace and special machining, aluminum, automotive and manufacturing industries, cement, energy, logistics and glass.

"It is our ambition at WS," states Dr.-Ing Joaching G. Wünning, president of WS Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH, "to provide solutions for all continuously operated strip lines which can reliably attain NOx emissions well below 100 mg/Nm³, with simultaneously high combustion efficiency over 80% and which are, already today, suited for a future with green combustion gases."

Paul Barritt, EOGB’s managing director

A burner manufacturer and distributor recently established an Italian-based heating solutions brand in the U.K.

EOGB Energy Products will supply Baltur’s commercial and industrial boilers and burners, expanding their range of Baltur products for domestic, commercial and industrial heating needs. Under the arrangement, EOGB will market, sell and support Baltur’s extensive range of commercial and industrial boilers and burners under the Baltur brand. Previously, EOGB had been Baltur’s sole distributor in the UK for their burner range only.

EOGB has been supplying Baltur’s oil, gas, and dual-fuel burners since 2000 and will continue to provide these products, whilst also adding a comprehensive range of commercial heating boilers to its portfolio.

“We’re delighted to bring a wider range of Baltur products to the UK market, all backed up by the high-quality customer service, technical support, and knowledge that EOGB has become known for over the past 25 years,” said EOGB’s managing director, Paul Barritt. “We’d encourage any commercial heating engineers to come along to our new showroom in Cambridgeshire and find out more about Baltur UK.”

Patrizia Selmi, European Export Manager at Baltur

“We have worked in partnership with EOGB for almost two decades and are proud that they are now introducing the Baltur brand to the UK as well as offering our range of world-class commercial boilers alongside the existing burner portfolio,” said Patrizia Selmi, European Export Manager at Baltur. “Together with leading customer service, product knowledge, and expertise, UK customers will benefit from the best all-round support to match our world-class products.”
