钢铁的熔化和精炼

Air Products offers a range of gas-based technologies and a full line of industrial gases to assist with your blast furnace operation. Oxygen can be injected into the blast furnace to improve combustion and facilitate the supplemental injection of pulverized coal or natural gas to reduce coke costs. The optimal solution for your process depends on many factors, such as your existing blast furnace’s operating parameters, coke costs, and production goals. Our applications engineers can help you implement tailored systems to meet your specific needs.

Oxygen is injected into a BOF at high rates and pressures to refine and decarburize hot metal. We can help you optimize oxygen usage for your basic oxygen furnace operation and can provide you with the most economical mode of supply based on your consumption patterns.

Oxygen is routinely used in modern EAFs for decarburization, oxy-fuel assisted melting and carbon monoxide post combustion. Using oxygen in these applications can reduce tap-to-tap time and lower electrical consumption per ton of steel. We can help you optimize oxygen usage for your melting operation and can provide you with the most economical mode of supply based on your consumption patterns.

Air Products’ oxygen enhanced combustion solutions can help you achieve greater fuel efficiencies, increase production and melt rate, reduce coke rates, achieve more consistent melt chemistry and improve alloy recovery. The optimal solution for your process depends on many factors, such as your existing cupola’s operating parameters, production goals and the current market conditions. Our applications engineers can help you implement tailored systems to meet your specific needs.

If you want to boost production, our oxy-fuel systems can provide supplemental heating to rapidly melt the charge. The right solution for your process depends on many factors, such as your induction furnace’s operating parameters, production goals, and the current market conditions.

Air Products’ oxygen-enhanced combustion technologies can help your DRI or other alternative ironmaking operations during gasification or partial oxidation by removing the burden of nitrogen contained in air. Our industry specialists can help you evaluate your technology options and the benefits of oxygen-enhanced combustion.
