  • Flame image analysis for furnace combustion control
    Patent number: 10991087
    Abstract: Operation of a combustion control system of furnace is controlled by image analysis, outside of the furnace or within the furnace, of a flame produced by combustion within the furnace, to correlate the image with carbon monoxide content of the flame, and adjustment of the oxygen and/or fuel flow into the furnace in response to the correlation.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system of removing accretion buildup in a furnace
    Patent number: 8703042
    Abstract: A method and system for method for removing solid accretions from a copper anode or holding furnace using coherent jet lance assembly directed towards the solid accretions in the bottom portion of the copper anode furnace to melt the solid accretions over an extended period of time without damage to the furnace refractory proximate a point of stream impingement.
