Cast Iron Production

Cast iron production can be improved in many ways with the help of oxygen. 

In a cupola furnace, oxygen can be used in various different ways.

Meanwhile it is industry standard to use oxygen addition in a cupola

and rotary furnace for producing cast iron. 

In a cupola furnace the oxygen use fas the following features:

- Energy and Coke Savings

- Increase of Melt Rates

- Increase of Metallurgical Activity

- Increase of Process Temperatures

- Increase of Runner Iron Temperature

- Reduction of Blast Rate and Flue Gas Amount

- Reduction of CO₂ Emissions

Oxy-Fuel Burners are Widely Used in Rotary Furnaces

with the following features:  

- Energy and Coke Savings

- Increase of Melt Rates

- Increase of Metallurgical Activity

- Increase of Process Temperatures

- Reduction of Flue Gas Amount and CO₂ Emissions

Oxygen can be used for decarbonization of iron producing melt shops. 

Oxy-fuel burners are well suited for transfer ladle heating. 

The use of oxygen in post combustion systems has shown valuable benefits. Simple solutions can optimize post combustion systems.
