<p>A radiant burner and method are disclosed. The radiant burner is for treating an effluent gas stream from a manufacturing process tool and comprises: a combustion chamber having a porous sleeve through which combustion materials pass for combustion proximate to a combustion surface of the porous sleeve; at least one effluent nozzle for ejecting the effluent gas stream into the combustion chamber; and a perforated liner proximate to the combustion surface. Providing a perforated liner controls the combustion materials passing into the combustion chamber to treat the effluent gas stream and also provides a surface onto which residual combustion deposits may be received. Accordingly, the liner can both improve the efficiency of the treatment of the effluent gas stream and can act as a sacrificial surface which may be replaced or cleaned either in accordance with a maintenance regime or when the performance of the radiant burner reduces.</p> |
