GeneralFlame burner: The Reduction Magic Adapted for the RKEF Process

The pyrometallurgical smelting of laterite nickel ore (RKEF process) has specific requirements for temperature gradient and kiln atmosphere. Adhering to the principle of "one fuel, one design; one kiln type, one modification," the GeneralFlame burner provides customized combustion solutions precisely matched to the needs of ferronickel enterprises.

Critical Control in the Pre-Reduction Section

During the drying and pre-reduction stage in the rotary kiln, we precisely control the temperature within the range of 850-1000°C (pre-reduction zone) or higher, creating the required reducing atmosphere. This level of control precision directly impacts the energy consumption and output of the subsequent submerged arc furnace (electric furnace).

With its stable and reliable pre-reduction control, the GeneralFlame burner has become an indispensable link in the RKEF process line.

Three Key Guarantees for Ferronickel Production

01
Ring Formation Control
Utilizing high-momentum flame rigidity, the high-temperature zone is controlled to a reasonable length (typically 4-6 times the kiln diameter), preventing localized high temperatures from causing molten material to adhere to the kiln wall and form "rings," ensuring production continuity.
02
Pre-Reduction Effect
Ensures thorough reduction of nickel oxides into metallic nickel particles, creating favorable conditions for subsequent smelting in the submerged arc furnace and significantly reducing electrical consumption.
03
Fuel Adaptability
Whether using pulverized coal, heavy oil, or low-calorific value gas, the burner maintains stable combustion efficiency, adapting to different energy supply conditions.
