Description

The oxyfuel technology uses pure oxygen rather than air in combustion, resulting in higher flame temperatures. This in turn increases combustion efficiency, lowers fuel consumption, and reduces carbon emissions. This process also allows carbon dioxide to be captured and used for other purposes.

In principle, oxyfuel can be used in all combustion processes. NEFI sees significant potential in the steel industry when used with electric arc furnaces, and also in the cement industry.
