Calorific Value

The calorific value (CV) of coal gas produced in steel processes (including mixed gas) defines its proper re-usage. The coal gas can be reused for turbine engine, boiler, reheating furnace, downstream steel treatment or others by detecting precise calorific value to optimize burner efficiency.Continuous monitoring of calorific value also to determine whether the coal gas can be used as a standalone fuel supply or needs to ···

Our Comprehensive Calorific Value Solutions

Our solutions calculate CV from steel gases for burner optimization and fuel blending.

FPI’s LGA-C300 Calorific Value Analyzer combines Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) and Thermal Conductivity to measure 3 fuel gas compositions (CO, CH4, H2) simultaneously. It’s an indirect method of calorific value analysis, solving all the conventional problems caused by ignition, combustion and heat exchange. Nevertheless, it’s an affordable analyzer tailor-made for fuel gases produced in steel plants.

LGA-C300 monitors CV variations in coke oven, BF, and converter gases with <1% error, preventing burner mismatches and explosions. Integration with gas holders optimizes blending for safe reuse, reducing waste by 12% and complying with ISO 6976 for gas quality analysis.
