A method and assembly is provided for modifying a regenerative or a recuperative furnace system having air-fuel burners for use with synthetic air. A portion of the exhaust gases from the furnace is recycled and mixed with oxygen gas to form synthetic air. The synthetic air is then used to support combustion in the furnace. A cassette regenerative oxy-fuel cross-fired furnace system is also provided. The cassette regenerative furnace system utilizes synthetic air containing a mixture of recycled exhaust gases and oxygen in combination with cassette regenerators.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of modifying a regenerative furnace system having a flue passageway and air/fuel burners for use with synthetic air, comprising the steps of:forming a first by-pass opening and a second by-pass opening in the flue passageway;dividing exhaust gases from the furnace system into a first exhaust gas portion and a second exhaust gas portion;directing the first exhaust gas portion through the first by-pass opening into a synthetic air assembly;mixing oxygen with the first exhaust gas portion to form synthetic air; anddirecting the synthetic air through the second by-pass opening to support combustion at the furnace system burners.
