Effect of refuse-gas fuel use on energy consumption in an industrial pusher furnace

Energy, 1998, vol. 23, issue 9, 767-775

Abstract: To save natural gas (NG) in heating steel slabs, a heat-recovery device (HRD) is used in a metallurgical pusher furnace together with refuse blast-furnace gas (RBFG) and O2. These NG-saving techniques are evaluated by using finite-time thermodynamics. The results indicate that mixing a higher percentage of RBFG with NG does not necessarily save NG. However, a higher percentage of O2 in air and a larger HRD do save NG.
