Ossicombustione
Why oxy-combustion
Higher production, lower consumption
Oxy-combustion is a technology that uses pure oxygen as the oxidizer instead of air inside the burner of the melting furnace. The result is a process with higher flame temperatures and greater thermal efficiency.
SIAD designs and manufactures regulation systems and oxy-methane and oxy-propane burners for rotary, crucible and reverberatory furnaces, sized according to the customer's specific plant and process.

Almost 100 years in the sector
SIAD is an expert in applications developed for the recovery and melting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This process knowledge translates into oxy-combustion solutions designed for each individual plant.
Oxy-fuel burners
Oxy-fuel burners
SIAD designs and manufactures oxy-methane and oxy-propane burners for rotary, crucible and reverberatory melting furnaces. The higher flame temperature enables more efficient heat transfer, leading to increased productivity, reduced flue gas volume and lower NOx and CO emissions.
Tailor-made
Tailor-made project
Based on the shape of the melting furnace, SIAD's technical team proposes flow regulation systems and burners designed to achieve a flame shape and length suitable for the production process. Each installation is sized case by case, according to the characteristics of the individual plant.
Products and services for oxy-combustion
SIAD designs and supplies complete oxy-combustion technologies: technical oxygen, dedicated burners and regulation systems. The solutions offered apply to melting furnaces for aluminium, cast iron, glass and precious metals, with solutions sized for each individual plant.
Oxygen: the engine of combustion
Together with the fuel, it is the process gas of oxy-combustion. By replacing air in the process, nitrogen is eliminated, thus increasing the flame temperature and improving the thermal efficiency of the process. It is used in rotary, crucible and reverberatory furnaces for metal melting, where it is correctly mixed and ignited with the fuel by the burners.
Oxy-fuel burners: methane or propane
SIAD burners for melting furnaces are available in oxy-methane and oxy-propane configurations. The oxygen-fuel mixture generates a high flame temperature and more efficient heat transfer, with faster process times and reduced emissions.
Custom-designed systems
SIAD's technical team designs water-cooled and non-water-cooled burners and flow regulation skids sized according to melting capacity and furnace geometry.
