X-Pact® Prometheus

Combustion optimization system for tailored steel quality and reduced fuel consumption

With X-Pact® Prometheus , plant operators are able to boost their furnace’s overall performance. The advanced combustion optimization system improves those parameters that can make the difference in special steel quality production. X-Pact® Prometheus allows for targeted improvements of the metallurgical properties, for example increased temperature uniformity or minimized negative effects such as steel decarburization or high scale formation.
