Integration of waste biomass thermal processing technology with a metallurgical furnace to improve its efficiency and economic benefit

Abstract The article presents innovative technology which integrates a metallurgical pusher-type furnace with waste heat recovery system that consisted of reactor for torrefaction and pyrolysis biomass. is designed utilizing both liquefied gaseous by-products (torgas, gas condensate denoted as TPC) obtained from TPC considered to be applied an additional fuel example effective energy management in industry. In detail, the contains unit installed on smoke stack source pyrolysis/torrefaction reactor. analysis was carried out pusher furnace, fed optionally either natural or coke gas. Share this gaseous/liquid total mixture varied 5 15% by volume. Practical usefulness tested specially constructed test stand. Financial consumption economy using co-combustion basis data steel sheet roller combined located one large works. It shown use derived thermal treatment biomass other organic substances can method reducing production costs analyzed company lead increase attractiveness their products thus strengthen competitiveness global market.
