The invention relates to a burner, particularly Low-NOx-burner, for generating a flame by combustion of a fuel, comprising: a tile (15, 15a, 15b) surrounding an opening (2, 2a, 2b) of the tile (15, 15a, 15b) extending along a burner axis (12), the tile (15, 15a, 15b) further comprising a front side (20) and a rear side (21) facing away from the front side (20), wherein the rear side (21) comprises an air inlet (10, 10a, 10b) connected to said opening for feeding air (A, A', A") into said opening (2, 2a, 2b), and wherein said front side (20) comprises a discharge outlet (9, 9a, 9b) connected to said opening (2, 2a, 2b) for discharging a flame (30) generated by the burner (1) into a surrounding area (S), and wherein the tile (15, 15a, 15b) further comprises an inside (22) facing said opening (2, 2a, 2b) as well as an outside (23) facing away from said opening (2, 2a, 2b). According to the invention the burner (1) further comprises at least one oxygen lance (5) extending along the burner axis (12) in a first recess (17) of said tile (15, 15a, 15b), the at least one oxygen lance (5) having an ejection nozzle (6) at an end region of the at least one oxygen lance (5) for ejecting oxygen (0), particularly such that the oxygen (0) is at first ejected into a colder flue gas region (31) surrounding the relatively hotter flame (30) generated by the burner (1). Further, the invention relates to a method for generating a flame (30).
Abstract:
A burner operating with flameless combustion, comprising a system for sucking the recycling flue gases directly from the combustion chamber by means of an ejector fed with the comburent, a heat exchange system positioned between the recycling flue gases and the comburent, a system for injecting the fuel directly into the recycling flue gases, the latter comprising or not comprising the comburent with formation of a mixture of fuel-recycling flue gases-comburent in the zone around the outlet of the comburent ejector and following introduction of the mixture into the combustion chamber.
Abstract:
A fuel flexible furnace (20), including a main combustion zone (25), a reburn zone (26) downstream from the main combustion zone (25), and a delivery system 30, 110) operably coupled to supplies of biomass and coal and configured to deliver the biomass and the coal as ingredients of first and reburn fuels to the main combustion zone (25) and the reburn zone (26), with each fuel including flexible quantities of the biomass and/or the coal. The flexible quantities are variable with the furnace (20) in an operating condition.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a gas turbine system, comprising a compressor, at least one combustion chamber (10), and eventually a secondary combustion chamber, for generating working gas. An intermediate turbine may be placed between two combustion chambers. The combustion chamber (15) consists of an individual can-combustor (120) or a number of can-combustors (120) arranged in an annular can-architecture. The can-combustor (120) comprises a number of premixed burners (10) arranged uniformly or divided at least in two groups. One or more groups of the premixed burners (10) may be shifted along the combustor axis with respect to another group, and may also be inclined with respect to the combustor axis. Optional Helmholtz dampers (16) reduce combustion pulsations. Ignition of the mixture starts at the premixed burner outlet. The flame is stabilized in the region of the premixed burner outlet by means of a backflow zone.
Abstract:
An apparatus for continuation of combustion with a combustion apparatus when the supply of the normal operating oxidant or normal operating fuel is disrupted, or temporally reduced. Air or oxygen enriched air or oxygen and a gaseous fuel or a liquid fuel or both a gaseous and liquid fuel are introduced into the combustion apparatus in place of the normal oxidant-fuel mixture to effect combustion and maintain the heating level in the furnace. A burner capable of firing in any one of the following nine firing modes: Air-Gas; Air-Oxy-Gas; Oxy-Gas; Air-Oil; Air-Oxy-Oil; Oxy-Oil; Air-Oil-Gas; Air-Oxy-Oil-Gas; Oxy-Oil-Gas.
Abstract:
A method for combusting in a combustion space, in which a furnace has been created, a second solid fuel in combination with a first solid fuel for recovering energy from those fuels. The method provides for: supply of the first solid fuel in particulate form, supply of the second solid fuel in particulate form, feed of the first solid fuel particles to the combustion space with a first primary, oxygen containing, combustion air and feed of the second solid fuel particles to the combustion space with a second primary, oxygen containing, combustion air. The first fuel particles are fed into a first burner layer of the combustion space and the second fuel particles into a second burner layer of the combustion space. The second burner layer, in relation to the furnace, is' located downstream of the first burner layer.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to methods and systems for preventing the release of nitrogen oxides with combustion flue gases emitted to the atmosphere. The invention is specifically directed to the removal of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrous oxide from flue gas in stationary combustion systems. The methods of the invention improve efficiency of conventional reburning and advanced reburning processes by two key improvements, including the injection of a reducing agent into the reburning zone (16) and the use of promoters, which considerably enhance NOx control. The promoters are metal-containing compounds that can be added to the reducing agents. These improvements allow either one or two stages of reducing agent injection for greater NOx control (50).
Abstract:
A method of reducing NO x produced by the burning of fuels includes providing a hydrocarbon and nitrogen mixture (10) to a plasma arc generator (20) for producing NO x reducing precursors (30) which are, in turn, provided near the burning of the fuel for reacting and reducing NO x emissions. These precursors (30) include N, H, HCN, CH i and NH i , etc.
Abstract:
Processes and systems for producing glass fibers having regions devoid of glass using submerged combustion melters, including feeding a vitrifiable feed material into a feed inlet of a melting zone of a melter vessel, and heating the vitrifiable material with at least one burner directing combustion products of an oxidant and a first fuel into the melting zone under a level of the molten material in the zone. One or more of the burners is configured to impart heat and turbulence to the molten material, producing a turbulent molten material comprising a plurality of bubbles suspended in the molten material, the bubbles comprising at least some of the combustion products, and optionally other gas species introduced by the burners. The molten material and bubbles are drawn through a bushing fluidly connected to a forehearth to produce a glass fiber comprising a plurality of interior regions substantially devoid of glass.
