Metallurgy

Mankind has been casting metal since at least 5,000 BC. Over the millennia, the industry has continued to thrive. Today, modern ironmaking and steelmaking processes produce approximately 1.8 billion metric tons of steel and 1.5 billion metric tons of iron each year, maintaining strong growth momentum. In recent years, China’s metal smelting industry has been accelerating its shift toward greener, more efficient, and smarter operations. In this transformation, technologies such as oxyfuel and oxygen lances and burners are upgrading older furnaces with cuttingedge efficiency. Messer is ready to help you get your share of that work, thanks to production lines enhanced by the purest gases and the latest oxyfuel lances and burners. Our engineers can work with you to analyze your operations and create a custom oxyfuel solution that increases performance, provides greater flexibility, and lowers both cost and emissions. Today, Messer’s combustion technologies are widely applied in key process stages, including reheating furnaces, melting furnaces, annealing furnaces, heattreatment furnaces, glass kilns, and cement kilns. Solutions can be customized to meet diverse onsite requirements. Across dozens of projects in China, we have successfully implemented oxyfuel combustion systems that have significantly improved energy utilization while lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions. We provide a fully integrated service, from gas products, control systems, and oxygen lances and burners to onsite technical support, enabling customers to achieve endtoend process optimization and enhanced operational efficiency. With Messer’s oxyfuel combustion solutions, you can confidently meet hightemperature challenges while achieving greater efficiency and more sustainable production goals.
