Steel reheating

Steel reheating is one of the most energy-intensive processes in a steel plant. Linde is here to help.
Linde works with customers to satisfy site-specific needs, including:


· Increasing production capacity and flexibility
· Decreasing fuel consumption
· Using lower-cost fuels
· Reducing carbon monoxide, NOx and SOx emissions
· Increasing emissions-handling capacity

· Throughput (tons/hour) increases of up to 50%
· Very uniform heating
· Specific fuel savings of up to 50%
· Corresponding 50% reduction in carbon dioxide
· NOx emissions <0.16 lb/mmBtu
· Flue gas volume reduction >50%
· Reduced maintenance costs
