FIRING FURNACE AND METHOD FOR FIRING

摘要

A firing furnace (100), which comprises a burning means (2) for burning a fuel (11), a main body (1) of the firing furnace for firing an article to be fired and discharging a burned gas, and a methane reformer (3) for reacting a reforming raw material (23) composed of a methane sub-fuel (21) for reforming and steam (22) by a methane reforming catalyst (6) packed in the inside thereof while heating the raw material with the burned gas, to form a reformed gas (24) containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The firing furnace allows the reduction of a fuel cost.
