Application Fit & Sizing Matrix

Operational Limits
pressure: 0.5-3.0 bar (7.3-43.5 psi)
flow rate: 100-5000 Nm³/h (3530-176,500 scfh)
temperature: 800-1600°C (1472-2912°F)
slurry concentration: Not applicable (gas-only application)
Media Compatibility
✓ Blast furnace gas (BFG) with typical composition: 20-30% CO, 15-25% CO₂, 2-5% H₂, balance N₂ ✓ Natural gas (as backup/auxiliary fuel) ✓ Coke oven gas (COG) blends
Unsuitable: Oxygen-enriched environments (>5% O₂) due to explosion risk and material oxidation
Sizing Data Required
  • Required gas flow rate (Nm³/h or scfh)
  • Furnace operating pressure (bar or psi)
  • Required atomization quality (Sauter Mean Diameter or spray angle specification)

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Thermal fatigue cracking
Cause: Cyclic thermal stresses from rapid heating/cooling during burner operation, exacerbated by temperature fluctuations in blast furnace gas composition and flow rates.
High-temperature oxidation/corrosion
Cause: Exposure to aggressive combustion products containing sulfur compounds, chlorides, and particulates from blast furnace gas, leading to material degradation and thinning.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Irregular or unstable flame pattern with yellow tipping or lifting from nozzle, indicating poor gas/air mixing or nozzle obstruction.
  • Unusual high-frequency whistling or screeching noise during operation, suggesting gas flow restriction or nozzle erosion altering flow dynamics.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular thermographic inspections to monitor nozzle temperature distribution and detect hot spots indicative of thermal stress or refractory lining failure.
  • Optimize burner tuning and gas/air ratio controls to maintain stable, stoichiometric combustion, minimizing thermal cycling and reducing corrosive byproduct formation.
