The efficiency of industrial combustion processes can be increased, either by preheating the fuel and combustion air or by adding oxygen. The most important issue of the usage of oxygen burners is the substantially increasing melting rate by lowering the specific production costs due to the higher combustion efficiency and lower investment costs. The diluted or flameless combustion (internal off-gas recirculation) and the external off-gas recirculation solve the problem concerning the high flame temperature and lead to cold combustion and lower dross formation. The Oxipyr®-Air combines the technology of diluted combustion during air and oxygen usage decreasing the emission of pollutants. Constitutive of the Oxipyr®-Air development, a fuel-oxygen-burner, Oxipyr®-Flex, was designed for a maximum of flexibility for the customer. The Oxipyr®-Air and Oxipyr®-Flex have been developed for the specific needs of melting and recycling companies for steel and all nonferrous metals industry.
