Combustion in a coke oven battery: Numerical modeling and testing with focus on NOx emission

Termotecnica Industriale contributed to an article published in Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, in collaboration with Paul Wurth Italia (SMS group Italy) and their engineers, who are co-authors on the paper and whose technical expertise played a crucial role in advancing this research. The study focuses on advanced CFD modeling of combustion processes in coke oven batteries using steelmaking process fuels.

Key highlights of the research:
▪️ Innovative CFD modeling of combustion in a coke oven battery using process‑derived fuels
▪️ Advanced chemistry modeling with NOx evaluation via post‑processing
▪️ Experimental validation confirming the relevance of NOx reburn mechanisms
▪️ Sensitivity analyses on thermal input, air inlet temperature, and excess air ratio
▪️ A general, tuning‑free approach delivering accurate NOx predictions

At Termotecnica Industriale, R&D is at the heart of everything we do. Our R&D department, with the CFD and process simulation unit, is developing our new combustion technologies, as well as supporting our partners for their R&D activities, in the context of emission reduction and energy transition. We develop cutting-edge technologies for combustion and CFD and multi-physics simulations, employing state-of-the-art software tools.

Thank you to everyone involved and to our partners for the excellent collaboration!
