Dual reducing-gas injection at tuyere and shaft levels cuts coke use and CO2 while stabilizing blast furnace gas flow.
Controlled oxygen outlet position, angle, and jet speed help protect the tuyere front from high-temperature melting and slag damage.
Multiple side nozzles and a defined gas flow index balance circumferential flow in a cylindrical packed bed, improving heating and reduction stability.
Cardan joints and flanged seals keep blast furnace reducing gas injectors gas-tight while accommodating thermal expansion and easing maintenance.
An intermediate injection level for CO-rich top gas reduces coke use and CO2 emissions while preserving blast-furnace productivity.
