Oxipyr-technology for oxy-fuel combustion, Oxijet-technology for injection and enrichment

In heating-, melting-, refining-, purging- and calcination processes carried out in many different kind of furnaces, for the production of non-ferrous- and ferrous metals, glass, ceramic, mineral materials and many other purposes, it is often useful to inject oxygen or other gases or to use oxy-fuel combustion. Under the brand name Oxipyr and Oxijet, Messer has developed two equipment families for injection and combustion processes respectively units, aiming at a wide range of applications. The strengths of the Oxipyr- and Oxijet technology are high capacity, low downtimes, low emissions and flexible adaptation to different existing heating-, melting-, refining-, purging- and calcination processes.

Oxipyr – direct; regulation for burner groups

Optional

Oxipyr- IPC: Internal post combustion

If volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/or CO are present in the exhaust gas, the combustion ratio is changed by reducing the amount of fuel and regulated depending on exhaust gas parameters. This means that high-quality fuels can be relieved. Oxygen is always supplied via Oxipyr burners; Oxijet lances are also used for certain types of furnaces.

Advantages:

  • Less fuel consumption
  • Relief of post-combustion
  • reduction of production costs

Oxipyr-DOC: dynamic oxygen control

The system can be used in reheating-, hearth- and rotary drum furnaces in combination with an Oxipyr Air burner or with oxygen lances. The level of O2 enrichment depends on the power input.

Advantages:

  • Oxygen savings at low loads
  • enrichment regulates itself automatically

Oxipyr-DLC: dynamic λ control

The system can be installed in all furnaces. The furnace is equipped with an oxygen measurement in the exhaust gas. The combustion ratio is regulated depending on the oxygen content in the exhaust gas.

Advantage:

  • Constant oxygen content in the exhaust gas

Oxipyr-furnace control

In addition to the burner system, other furnace functions such as hydraulics, doors, tilting and rotating movements, etc. are operated by the PLC.

Advantages:

  • Turnkey solution for all types of furnaces
  • Conversion or new construction

Oxipyr-off gas duct

This system has been developed to control the furnace pressure and to cool exhaust gas, especially during the implementation of oxipyr burners to adapt the exhaust system. An apparatus enables cooling of the exhaust gas and pressure control in the furnace.

Advantages:

  • Stable furnace pressure
  • No fan for cooling air
  • No flaps
  • Fast response time

Oxipyr data

All existing process data are stored and are available to other systems for further processing.
