Air Products (AP) recently announced it has signed a new contract for its integrated oxy-fuel combustion solution with Techpack Solutions, the largest packaging materials manufacturer in South Korea.
It is AP’ third project to support Techpack Solutions to convert its furnace from air-fuel to oxy-fuel for enhanced sustainability and competitiveness.
Oxy-fuel combustion technology is proven to bring multiple benefits, such as over 80% reduction in NOx emissions, 10-35% energy savings, about 25% increase in productivity, and improved energy efficiency and glass quality.
The integrated solution encompasses AP’ advanced oxy-fuel combustion system, including the Cleanfire HRi and HRx oxy‐fuel burners and an automatic flow control skid, as well as a PRISM VSA oxygen generator.
“With AP’ support, we have successfully converted two furnaces from air-fuel to oxy-fuel combustion and achieved remarkable improvements in NOx emission reductions, energy efficiency and productivity,” said Young-Min Kim, technical team general manager of Techpack Solutions. |
