Industrial Furnaces
Advanced Operating Modes of Furnaces
TMEC engineers offer their expertise in development of advanced operating modes, commissioning and technical support for gas-fuel and electric consuming units in metallurgical, chemical, cement industries, such as:
Rotary and shaft kilns
Reheating furnaces
Electric calciners
Industrial boilers
Chemical reactors.
Validation of Heating Technology
Reheating and thermal treatment of steel products in industrial furnaces is an important part of rolling. Precision and reliability of these processes influence quality of material. Even fully automated units require periodic check and validation due to complexity of monitoring steel temperature.
With focus on industry needs TMEC has developed downstream methodology of enhancing furnace operating modes with specific focus on product quality and energy efficiency. It includes:
Technical and energy audit
Data logger-based analysis of a heating process
Simulation of inner temperature fields
Development of advanced operating modes.
The cases study of multiple gas-fired units performed by TMEC engineers for industrial Partners shows that quality of material could be enhanced by 2-4% with simultaneous reduction of fuel consumption by 3-5%. A typical payoff period of a such service is up to 2-3 months.
