Thyssenkrupp Steel recently inaugurated its newest hot-dip galvanizing line in Dortmund, Germany. By using modern regenerative burners from WS Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH in double-P radiant tubes, the plant typically saves between 15-30% fuel compared to conventionally heated furnaces. At the same time, particularly low NOx emission values are achieved thanks to the patented FLOX combustion process. Due to the excellent temperature uniformity of the radiant tubes used, the heating system is set up for a later switch to green fuels such as hydrogen.

Today’s combustion systems are efficient, have low environmental footprint and deliver quality heating of the product.

When something so disruptive happens that hits daily life in unpredictable ways, adaptability becomes a key element, especially when it comes to business. We have seen many people adopting smart working, as face-to-face meetings and business trips have been replaced by frequent video calls.

Over the past few decades, significant strides have been made to increase the life cycle of components that are to be used at high temperatures. Today, there are new alloys that can result in another doubling (or more) of the component life at far less the doubling of cost.
