•    Description: This article presents a case study on Sapa's furnace retrofit in Cressona, PA, aimed at increasing production of a 65,000 lb reverb furnace. For the project, Air Products performed a study of the available retrofit options, which resulted in installation of small oxyfuel burners as ‘boost burners’ in strategic positions within the furnace. The collaboration culminated in a custom-designed solution that increased production by 15% on Sapa's melting furnace.
