Abstract
Before converting production furnaces to different combustion technologies it is essential to understand all related changes and side effects. An experienced team will be able to successfully conclude a conversion like this. However, CFD modeling will enable to make informed decisions in terms of effort and results of furnace retrofitting with new combustion equipment. This paper will give insight of how oxyfuel together with CFD can impact energy balance and productivity of production furnaces.
