As the steel, metals and glass industries accelerate toward decarbonization, the hybrid furnace is emerging as a critical technology — combining traditional fossil-fuel firing with electrical or hydrogen-based heating to cut CO₂ emissions without compromising process performance.
But hybridization also brings new challenges: fluctuating temperature zones, unproper heat distribution, and higher demands for repeatable and accurate control.
That’s where advanced thermal imaging, particularly MWIR-B and NIR-B (Near-Infrared-B) technology based, is making a real difference for operations. The paper will introduce some case studies how to get benefits from this technology.
