Why Combustion Matters: Business Implications of Poor Combustion

In metal processing applications, where all products go through an industrial furnace at least once, furnace performance directly impacts business performance. Transferring energy into the product defines furnace performance. Regardless of furnace type, poor combustion significantly affects safety, quality, delivery and cost. This presentation discusses real business implications an out-of-tune combustion system can have on success, while reviewing burner level combustion data points over time across different furnaces in metal processing, breaking down the cost and importance of running combustion properly in relation to of safety, emissions, temperature uniformity, radiant tube/burner efficiency, scrap/scale oxidation and downtime.
