Optical Analysis of Blast Furnace Gas Combustion in a Laboratory Premixed Burner.

The use of blast furnace gas (BFG) as a fuel provides an alternative for waste stream valorization in the steel industry, enhancing the sustainability and decarbonization of its processes. Nevertheless, the implementation of this solution on an industrial scale requires a continuous control of the combustion due to the low calorific value of BFG. This work analyzes the combustion behavior and monitoring of BFG/CH blends in a laboratory premixed fuel burner.
