Air Liquide’s oxy-fuel combustion technology solutions are well suited for rotary furnaces and reverberatory furnaces for aluminum, lead, copper and brass.
Air Liquide supplies gases and services for reheating furnaces and heat treatment applications serving manufacturers of products such as powder metals, wire, ingots, strip, slab, shot, and other metallurgical products.
Primary smelting
High oxygen levels are used for primary smelting. By reducing the nitrogen content of the off-gas, the heat losses are reduced while the reaction temperature and reaction rate are increased.
