Industrial application of gas reburning. Topical report, September 1993-February 1994
The report analyzes a number of industrial processes and assesses the suitability of using natural gas reburning technology to achieve reduced NOx emissions. In gas reburning a small amount of gas, typically 10 to 15 percent of the total fuel input, is injected above the primary fuel zone to create a fuel-rich reburn zone where NOx is reduced. Gas reburning has demonstrated the capability of reducing NOx emissions by 50 to 65 percent, but its use in particular applications is dependent on specific process and combustion parameters. Five industrial processes were identified as suitable for natural gas reburning: glass melting furnaces, cement kilns, reheat furnaces, process heaters, and waste-heat recovery systems.
