METHOD OF REDUCING HARMFUL EMISSIONS DURING COMBUSTION AND A BURNER FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Harmful gas emissions from combustion processes are reduced by oxidising the fuel with an oxygen contg. oxidising agent in the presence of recirculating waste gases. The oxidising agent is split up into a main oxygen stream (23) and a primary oxygen stream (14). Before the main oxygen stream (23) take part in the oxidation of the fuel, it is preheated to at least 100 degrees C and the flow is pulsed in relation to the combustion capacity so that at least 23.6 N/MW is generated with stoichiometric combustion. The fuel is fed in through a water cooled supply channel (16) in a pulsed flow related to the combustion capacity. The N/MW generated at the outlet is between 2 and 18% of the burner's pulsed flow, depending on the type of fuel. The primary oxygen stream (14) is fed in a temp. plus or minus 30 degrees C. 0.4% of the stoichiometric quantity of oxygen required and the primary oxygen flow with the emergent part-oxidised combustible material is finally mixed with the main oxygen flow and the recirculating combustion waste gases. Also claimed is a burner designed for the combustion process described above.
