SUMMARY:Applied solutions for heating systems for industrial furnaces in respect of sustainable thermal process technology
DESCRIPTION:Modern humankind will continue to need the products of the metal industry in the future, similar to the products of other key industries. Especially in the field of energy-intensive thermal processes in the steel industry, the high demand for process heat supplied today by the oxidation of fossil fuels is required in terms of process technology. 

The reversal from fossil fuels is the core task of the transformation towards sustainable thermal process technology. Therefore, traditional energy sources are replaced with CO2-neutral alternatives, i.e., green electrical energy and green hydrogen.

On the path to sustainable thermal process technology, however, the following simultaneous efforts are fundamentally important as well:
  •          A further increase in the thermal efficiency of the process while reducing emissions as harmful as NOx or dust emissions.
•            A reduction in material loss within the production chain. For example, material loss occurs during the heating process due to scale formation.
•            An optimal interlinking of the individual production steps to increase the production chains' overall efficiency.
•           All-round use of intelligent, connected, and user-friendly automation systems.

These measures have a particularly sustainable effect in modernizations and upgrades, where omitting additional cumulative CO2 emissions due to the reuse of the already produced assemblies improves CO2 balance of the retrofitting effort.

In the article, the innovative and practical solutions for heating systems in industrial furnaces for the steel industry are presented with the help of concrete examples. Furthermore, the complexity of the requirements for the industrial heating systems is analyzed.   

In particular, the latest developments with regenerative burners and hybrid heating systems
