FireCon System for Anode
Baking Furnaces

FireCon System from Hamilton Research employs leading-edge automatic firing and control technology, incorporating technological advancements to offer diverse control strategies and diagnostic capabilities.

The FireCon system enhances the efficiency and quality of the anode baking process.
It prioritises precise control of anode baking profiles, ensuring consistent and uniform heating. The system also targets improved fuel efficiency, minimising operational costs and promoting environmental sustainability.

The FireCon system maintains consistent furnace conditions and prevents variations in anode quality. Monitoring flue-to-flue temperature deviations. Additionally, the system optimises pitch volatile burning, reducing waste and enhancing overall efficiency.

It also extends the refractory life of baking furnace, lowering maintenance expenses by controlling temperatures, streamlining changeover processes and managing crossovers effectively contributing to continuous and efficient production.

This diagram represents a generic system and will change depending on customer requirements and plant specifications.
