| Abstract Scope |
Diluted or flameless oxy-fuel combustion has shown in the past year’s huge successes as an optimization tool for a variety of high temperature applications. This innovative combustion technology has a lower flame temperature, more uniform temperature distribution, and with MPOTŪ burners, utilizes air participation, leading to lower fuel consumption and ultra-low NOx levels. MPOTŪ burners are designed to minimize pure oxygen participation, which reduces oxygen costs, and results in an overall higher melt efficiency.
The carbon-free future will be CCU, in the purest sense, the process of capturing CO2 at the point of generation and utilizing that CO2 within the boundaries of said facility. MPOT engineers embraced this challenge with these solution tenants: Utilize at least 95% of process generated CO2 inhouse, improve heat flux in process, improve fuel efficiency, decrease turnaround time, and improve product quality with this solution. |
