A rich Oxycombustion Seminar covering broad scopes and latest innovations
Oxycombustion is playing a crucial role in decarbonization of energy-intensive industries. In collaboration with KU Leuven, Air Liquide invites you to the Thermotechnical Institute Seminar Place to continue our shared tradition of supporting industrial progress. This seminar is a platform for organizations interested in oxy-fuel combustion and its real-world applications. Key topics include:
- Oxycombustion for non ferrous recycling: Innovations in melting and finishing of base metals (lead, copper, nickel, aluminum, zinc) and precious metals (gold, silver, platinum group metals).
- Oxycombustion for glass production: Advancements in melting and finishing of flat, tableware, and contenair glass.
- Oxycombustion for steel production: Applications in EAF, laddle and tundish preheating, reheating furnaces, and oxy-cutting).
- Oxyboosting in cement production: Including CCS applications
- Carbon Capture through oxycombustion: Market insights and Air Liquide’s key projects across the CO2 value chain - capture, transportation, usage and storage.
- Oxycombustion for boilers
- Air Liquide Oxy-Boosting technologies: Air Liquide pathways towards decarbonization of energy-intensive industry).
- Hydro-Oxy-combustion: Decarbonized solutions using Oxycombustion and hydrogen or ammonia.
- EU policies on industrial combustion pollutants: Updates and trends in emissions regulations.
