Webinar: The role advanced combustion technologies play in optimising melting operations

Join the Metallurgical Society for their webinar: The role advanced combustion technologies play in optimising melting operations.

About this event

Join us for an in-depth look at advancements in combustion technologies and their impact on pyrometallurgical operations.

This webinar will explore how advanced combustion techniques, including oxygen enrichment, staged combustion, and furnace pressure can improve combustion efficiency, heat flux, and operational performance in smelting furnaces.

The presentation will discuss the control of flame shape, burner trajectories, and the impact of flame momentum on heat transfer mechanisms and associated refractory wear. We will also explore a case study for a secondary copper furnace in the United States and the impact of combustion system upgrades on the performance of the operation.

This webinar presentation will be valuable for professionals seeking to understand combustion processes, tools for optimisation, key metrics, and the associated safety and productivity of these systems.

Webinar time: 5.00pm - 6.00pm AEDT
