Description

In order to develop low pollutant burning technologies ICPET-RESEARCH S.A. Bucharest studied new solutions of burners able to limit the NOx emissions from the furnaces of the power plants and industrial unit boilers. In this paper we present the results of analysis of the processes in some low NOx hydrocarbon burners. These results were obtained by applying a numerical modelling approach of the gas-thermodynamical and chemical processes in the flame. The FLUENT computer program was used in this purpose. The new solutions, for the case of a 10 MWth power burner showed a reduction of NOx emission of about 3 times for heavy oil fuel and of 22 % for natural gas fuel, respectively, as compared with the currently operated burners in Romania.(author).19 figs
