Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An oxygen-fuel firing system for a furnace comprising separate spread apart , nozzles for introducing gaseous streams of oxygen and fuel into the furnace at spaced apart locations. The gaseous streams merge within the furnace away from the furnace walls and crown. Thus, the main combustion within the furnace takes place in the central portion of the furnace where a broad flame cloud is created. The broad flame cloud provides a more uniform temperature profile within the furnace for a more efficient processing of materials being melted in the furnace.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 13, 1993 and granted December 7, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 13, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 13, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
