The aim of this study is to presents some of the current trend in Furnace technology as it pertains
to the melting industries. Furnaces are applied in various industries for material processing. Large amounts of
energy are usually consumed in the melting industries. The current trend in furnace technology is towards
energy conservation, enhanced efficiency and productivity. The reduction of pollutant emissions are also taken
into consideration due to their environmental impact. The various materials and processes for furnaces are
discussed. The various strategies being employed towards furnace energy conservation, efficiency and
productivity, and reduction of pollutant emissions are also discussed. Such strategies include the use of better
fuel types such as natural gas; improved insulation and refractory materials; advanced burner designs such as
high velocity, regenerative and recuperative burners; new combustion technologies such as air and fuel staging,
flue gas recirculation technique. Mathematical modeling is also being employed for analysis and design
purpose.
Key words: Burners, combustion technologies, emissions, energy efficiency, furnace technology, ,
