processing, needed to inject steam at a temperature above 180\u00b0C into a furnace where it is mixed with hydrogen.\nHere are additional details of the application <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduction potential setting: <\/strong>In the copper processing process, especially in the refining stage, a furnace is used to melt the copper and remove impurities such as iron silicate.\nReduction potential refers to the ability of the furnace to remove these impurities and produce high purity copper.\nThe introduction of steam together with hydrogen facilitates the adjustment of the reduction potential of the furnace.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimum temperature of the mixture to avoid condensation:<\/strong> it is crucial to maintain a minimum temperature of 143\u00b0C in the mixture of steam and hydrogen to avoid condensation of water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steam temperature required:<\/strong> It is recommended that the steam be at least 250\u00b0C, to ensure that the mixture maintains an adequate temperature throughout the reduction process.\nThis ensures efficient iron silicate extraction and high quality copper production.

capacity of 24 kW designed to produce approximately 30 kg\/hour of steam.\nThis generator provides the initial source of steam required for the hydrogen mixing process in the electric furnace. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steam superheater (afterheater):<\/strong> a steam superheater capable of raising the steam temperature from 180\u00b0C to 250\u00b0C.\nThis stage is crucial to ensure that the steam reaches the required temperature for mixing with hydrogen without condensing during the process. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pressure reduction system: <\/strong>a system designed to modulate the steam pressure before it enters the electric furnace, prior to passing through the afterheater.\nThis ensures that the steam is adjusted to the specific conditions required for the reduction process in the furnace. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Condensate recovery tank: <\/strong>a tank designed to recover and reuse the hot water condensed during the process.\nThis not only optimizes water consumption, but also helps maintain the efficiency of the steam generator by making maximum use of the resources available in the system. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\"
