Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the temperature in a burner part from rising, a to decrease generation of unburnt matter, and to protect a rear heat transfer area from erosion caused by fly ash, by mixing oxygen with air and by using the oxygen- enriched air for over-firing air only. CONSTITUTION:Oxygen 6 is mixed with over-firing air (OFA) only, in a method to burn fuel 5 such as pulverized solid fuel or slurry fuel with combustion air 1, which is divided into the primary air 2, the secondary air 3, and over-firing air 4. Unburnt matter is contained in combustion exhaust gas 10 form the outlet of a main burner zone 14, and oxygen 6 in the over-firing air 4 is consumed to burn the unburnt matter. The OFA4 of high oxygen concentration is very effective to burn the unburnt matter, and it is nearly completely burned out in a OFA zone 15. Besides, the flow rate of OFA4 can be decreased, because OFA4 is the air of high oxygen concentration. As a result, the rate of combustion exhaust gas 10 is decreased, and the velocity of combustion exhaust gas is also decreased when it passes through a steam superheater 11 provided at the outlet of a furnace 12, so that erosion caused by fly ash in the rear heat transfer area can be alleviated.
Abstract:
A combustion system having a furnace defining a combustion chamber includes a first burner disposed at an upper elevation of the combustion chamber and a second burner and a third burner disposed at a lower elevation of the combustion chamber. A first duct extends vertically to convey therein a fuel flow of gas and pulverized fuel. A second duct branches from the first duct to the first burner to convey a first portion of the fuel flow, which is fuel lean, to define a fuel lean flow, wherein a second portion of the fuel flow passes through the first duct as a fuel rich flow. A third duct includes one end disposed longitudinally within the first duct. An impeller is disposed within the first duct upstream of the branching of the second duct and downstream of the one end of the third duct disposed in the first duct. The impeller includes a plurality of blades to direct outwardly the pulverized fuel of the fuel rich flow to provide a fuel reduced content flow passing through the second duct to the second burner, and a fuel concentrated content flow passing through first duct to the first burner.

Abstract:
A method and improved furnace for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from a furnace having a plurality of primary fuel injectors and a plurality of spaced apart over-fire air injectors positioned above the primary fuel injectors are disclosed. Injection of over-fire air produces zones of cooler combustion gasses containing over-fire air that separate zones of hot combustion gasses containing nitrogen oxides. Reburn fuel injectors inject a reburn fuel into the zones of hot combustion making the effluent combustion gases containing nitrogen oxides partially or totally fuel-rich in order to further reduce nitric oxide.

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for combustion of solid fuels. The combustion system includes burners which supply a mixed flow of fuel and air through a fuel nozzle to the combustion chamber for example of a boiler. The mixed flow of fuel and primary air is supplied to the burner through a duct from a pulverizer where the fuel is grinded to the required finesse. The duct further bends in such a way that one portion is vertical with respect parallel to axis of the boiler 1 A-A is vertical duct and other portion is horizontal duct which is parallel to axis B-B of the fuel nozzle.
Abstract:
A combustion apparatus includes a combustion chamber having multiple combustion zones. A first wind box is in communication with the first combustion zone to feed the fuel to be fed into the combustion chamber for initial combustion of the fuel within the first combustion zone. A second wind box has a reburner in communication with the second combustion zone. The reburner is configured to feed fuel, a reagent and a first portion of the flue gas to be recycled to the second combustion zone into the second combustion zone to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions of the apparatus. A third wind box is in communication with the third combustion zone to feed air to the third combustion zone to complete the combustion process.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement for optimizing combustion conditions in a fluidized-bed boiler, in which combustion gas is fed at two or more height levels, the first of which is a primary level (P) which is located at the height of a furnace bottom and the second is a secondary level (S) which is located above fuel feed height (F), above which secondary level (S) there can be still other combustion gas feed levels (T, . . . ). At least one combustion gas feed level (P, S, T, . . . ) is fed at different points of the furnace (11) in its horizontal direction with combustion gases having different oxygen contents such that zones of different oxygen content can be formed in the horizontal direction of the furnace (11).
Abstract:
A low NOx combustion method includes steps of injecting reactants into a combustion chamber. A primary reactant stream, including fuel and combustion air premix, is injected from a premix burner port into the combustion chamber. A staged fuel stream is injected into the combustion chamber from a staged fuel injector port adjacent to the premix burner port. A stream of recirculated flue gas is injected into the combustion chamber from a flue gas injector port that is adjacent to the premix burner port and adjacent to the staged fuel injector port. In this manner, the stream of recirculated flue gas is injected into the combustion chamber unmixed with the primary reactant stream and unmixed with the staged fuel stream.
