Multi-fuel low-NOx burner development, phase II. Annual report Jan-Dec 80
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5644945
During Phase II of this program, three burner manufacturers, Eclipse, Inc., Hauck Manufacturing, and Bloom Engineering, are cooperating with IGT in the development of industrial burners that incorporate various NOx control techniques while maintaining the heat-transfer characteristics of the flames suitable for the particular process application. NOx control by catalytic combustion, staged combustion, and/or recirculation is being incorporated in the various burners. The experimental trials are carried out at the IGT Combustion Research Facility on a pilot-scale industrial furnace. For these trials, the air preheater was modified to obtain the required 1200F temperature, and a new air duct and an oil system were installed. The program has three tasks, one for each of the burners being developed. As part of the Task 1 effort to develop a direct-fired air heater burner with Eclipse, Inc., Engelhard Industries is testing catalysts to determine if they can burn natural gas under the conditions required to produce ultra-low-NOx levels (0.3 ppm corrected to 0% O2) on their bench-scale combustor. Preliminary results indicate that catalytic combustion could achieve the very-low-NOx levels desired in a direct-fired food-drying application. For Task 2, a mounting rig has been designed to allow the firing angle to be varied during the baseline trials on the Hauck burner, and the preliminary design of the Hauck prototype burner for direct-fired aluminum reheat and melting furnaces is completed. For Task 3, the Bloom baseline baffle burner has been installed at the IGT research facility, and the prototype Bloom burner for steel reheat furnaces has been designed.
