A high-efficiency, low cost, oxy-fuel burner system has been developed for reheat furnaces that also results in a substantial reduction in NO[sub x] emissions compared with other systems. Through a cooperative project between Timken and AGA, it has been shown that the extremely high efficiency, along with other intangible benefits of oxy-fuel combustion can be successfully applied to reheat furnaces. Previously known disadvantages associated with oxy-fuel flames in relatively low temperature processes have been overcome by the patented burner design and operational practice developed.
