PyrOx™ Burner

ACI's PyrOx™ burner system utilizes pyrolysis based two stage combustion technique that assures superior radiative and convective heat transfer to the load. The fuel and oxidizer are pre-mixed in the combustion chamber to guarantee highest fuel utilization.

• Highly efficient 1 to 4.5 MW oxy-fuel burner, used in EAFs
• High velocity, high pressure flame impinging on the steel scrap pile
• Water-cooled combustion allows active mixing of natural gas and oxygen protects the nozzle from plugging with splashing slag and steel

PyrOx™ Burner Benefits

• Increase Furnace Production
• Increase melting rate up to 50%
• Decrease total energy cost
• Improve Metallic yield
• Extend Refractory life
• Optimize oxygen usage

Characteristics of PyrOx™ technology

Efficiency: Highly luminous flame dramatically increases heat transfer efficiency to the load

Robust Concept: PyrOx™ is an industry-proven design, showing extended longevity together with low maintenance requirements

Power Range: from 1.5 MW up to 4.5 MW

• Staged combustion
• Multiple, high velocity jets (perfect mixing and reduced residence time
• Independently control of the oxygen / air ratio
