Abstract

Language:

Oxygen-enhanced combustion (OEC) is a useful method for improving the efficiency of thermal plants and for decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Basic and modified burner designs utilizing OEC in the aluminum melting process in a rotary tilting furnace were studied. A combined approach comprising experimental measurement and simulation modeling was adopted aimed at assessing GHG emissions production. Reduction of up to 60% fuel consumption of the total natural gas used in the laboratory-scale furnace was achieved. The optimal oxygen concentration in the oxidizer regarding the amount of total GHG emissions produced per charge expressed as CO2 equivalent was 35% vol.
