Burner basket system for ammonia oxidation burners for industrial plants with burner diameters of 2-7 m in a natural- or forced-circulation boiler suitable for minimizing gas slip and for minimizing wave formation contents in the burner basket and loss of contents in the burner basket, wherein the burner basket has a wall anchored in the ammonia oxidation burner and the burner basket has a gas-permeable bottom plate, placed on internal fittings of the forced circulation boiler, wherein the wall and the gas-permeable bottom plate are not mechanically connected to each other, and the wall of the burner basket tapers conically towards the bottom plate at an angle of 5-20° from the perpendicular, and in all operating states of the ammonia oxidation burner there is a peripheral gap in the range from 5 to 10 mm between the wall and the gas-permeable bottom plate.
