Induration Furnace fun facts

[Winston123]

The typical furnace has anywhere between 25-40 fuel burners. Each burner is pumping out a whooping    15,000,000 btu/hr. Divide that by 140,000 btu and u get 107 gallons per hr. Times that by 4 and you get , let's say 400L to be nice. So that's 400L per burner per hr. Now times say 20 burners(small furnace). Ok so 8000L per hr for the induration furnace. But wait. It runs 24 hrs a day. Oh my. 8000x24=192000L per day. Those dual tanker trucks you see at your favourite gas station are 50000L trucks. So thats a grand total of 4 dual tanker trucks per day in one small induration furnace. Wowzers. Now 192000L x $1.50 =  $288,000 per day. It shouldn't be a surprise that these companies want to switch out heat sources. They have a dirty little secret.  Once the masses find out they be begging for plasma torches.

Good one Winston ! Gordoni,TamamaHack and Sore One will be out for your knees for making sense and splaining apparent simple torch math . GLTA

[sorrenson]

sorry but ...check your math  Bunker  trades today at 700 per tonne so 2.33 per us gallon 61.9  cents a liter so  presuming  the rest is correct the bunker cost is $ 118192 per day not $288,000 but lets look at plasma math Im going to presume your 15 million BTU is correct and lets compare electrical  15000000 btu works out to 4400 kwh  , Plasma

give it a rest sorryson,, you continually post fud and paint everything in a negative light.... drink your morning coffee and get a life, , look yourself in the mirror and ask how you can make you and the world a better place.... and take tamarackflop with you.... PyroGenesis is the real deal,, this train is just getting started,, , and i'm thereaImccoy!!!!

[sorrenson]

So we should leave posts which have bunker costs at 3 times reality  and ignore plasma costs Sounds like you absolutely dont want investors told the truth.....pathetic ,, I wouldt think an honest person would want the truth out there, you wouldnt want investors mislead  would you.?

Very impressive Rebutal SOLID thanks sorrenson , puts things into perspective. Peace

[Winston123]

Oh I forgot to mention bunker C is not diesel fuel. So yeah your numbers are off. Bunker C is a toxic tar like sludge that barely flows at room temperature. It actually needs to be prewarmed with steam before it can be ignited in a furnace.  So now you ask. Where does the steam come from? You guessed it , more burning of fossil fuels. 

[Winston123]

And one more thing. I'm not scared of the truth. Even if plasma torches cost more(which they don't when you factor everything in) I would still chose the plasma. Just like I'll be choosing an electric car for my next vehicle. You know why? Because their  better! Accept change. Be happy. Enjoy your weekend

Hey therealmccoy why dont you stay on the side line for a minute, because you bring no value to this exchange. You keep repeating the same song...like a broken record! Lets go back to Winston123 first:  Assuming that your numbers are about right ( which they are not, but I will be generous !) you are saying that 80 X  1 MW plasma torches will be required to run your furnace ( 20 X 15M

[raphaelle2]

ALSO: I didnt mention the capital costs of multiple plasma torches installations...because its so high that this alone  mske large scale installations unrealistic. Finally, rest assured that the cost of  green electricity ( even from private power source) will be accounted using its COMMERCIAL value to the customers of the iron ore pellets.  Green electricity should not be wasted

[therealmccoy]

you get on the sideline there raphaelle2,,, and take sorrenson (who is just Zaphod/ZapFUD with a new account) and tamarackflop with you too.... you 3 bozos contribute zilch.... sorrenson is just Zaphod reincarnated (check Zaphod's history,,, posts constant FUD and negativity,, then "goes camping" and never comes back..... same user "cleverly" creates the sorrenson/sorryson

[raphaelle2]

Dont cry...we like you too...your so pathetic its funny...and a good laugh, like an apple, is a sure way to keep the doctor away LOL GLTA.

[Winston123]

A lot of these large companies have their own supply of power and or plans in the works. They won't be paying 0.15kw/hr. You forgot to factor in government incentives, public pressure, esg pressure etc. I worked for a large furnace company 15 years ago we were paying $1 per litre way back then for fuel oil. (In bulk). You think oil is gonna stay cheap forever? Look around, limited supply and

[sorrenson]

It doesnt matter if they own the hydrodams  Its power they sell and in high demand with a cost and value.  Farmers dont factor corn as free cattle feed because they grew it..Here have a free cow, he was fed on my free corn,,,,,yeah ok  Plasma versus oil and gas isnt close, not even the same  planet. Bunker is traded on world markets and POSTED ffs. LOOK IT UP  It is up

[filoux004]

Sorrenson you are on a mission this morning Drop the Mic!!!! Will wait for a firm contract. Thanks for the math. Peace

Many thanks for your posts Winston123 and for your information/insight into conventional diesel burners versus PyroGenesis' plasma torches.  Winston123 has some great posts, it's worth going through his posts.   Keep in mind that PyroGenesis' plasma torches for iron ore pelletizing is just one division/business line of PYR.  There are also torches for steel
