Thermal Processing Solutions GmbH

Since its foundation in 2022, TPS has been pioneering the development of sustainable and economical technologies to enable CO₂-free heating in various industries and sectors. As part of this effort, TPS is currently working on a novel plasma burner concept suitable for industrial applications. This concept utilizes induction to create plasma, offering several potential advantages.

Critical components would not come into contact with the plasma, as the plasma itself would heat and melt the aluminum. Using this technology, it would be possible to melt aluminum using a carbon-neutral method. One of the major factors considered in the design is that this technology would need to be capable of being installed at existing facilities equipped with gas-fired combustion systems. That is, the plasma burners must be able to replace the gas burners of the old system. A further advantage offered by the design is that the technology can be employed in flexible furnace atmospheres. As the presence of oxygen in the furnace is eliminated, the amount of dross that is created can also be reduced.

TPS is developing this technology in cooperation with wellknown project partners.
