Oxygen enrichment is a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective technology that can help improve your profitability. With minimal capital investment, you can increase production, lower your fuel costs, decrease emissions, and improve kiln operation.

The technology is applicable to all types of kilns. Since the 1990s, Air Products has been helping customers realize the many benefits of oxygen enrichment. Low installation costs of oxygen systems make them an attractive alternative to expensive capacity additions or debottlenecking measures. Today, the economics are more attractive than ever.

  • Increase production by 5% to 30%
  • Increase use of alternative fuels by 30% to 80%
  • Reduce emissions
  • Improve kiln stability
  • Reduce specific fuel consumption
  • Attain more consistent product quality

All of these add up to increased profits—in some cases as much as $3 million per year.

With years of experience, installations at more than 20 kilns, and our proprietary technology, we have helped customers with all types of kilns improve their operation and maximize profitability.

We have installed oxygen injection systems in various pyroprocessing zones. Specific plant design and use of alternative fuels will often dictate the most appropriate site for oxygen injection.
