Development of combustion data to utilize low-Btu gases as industrial process fuels. Project 8985 special report No. 2, Kiln Burner. [From natural gas to low Btu gas]
Data were gathered to determine the performance of a kiln burner when retrofit with three low-Btu gases. The burner was fired on the IGT pilot-scale test furnaces with a load simulating the calcining and reaction zones of a cement kiln. The low- and medium-Btu gases simulated for these combustion trials were Koppers-Totzek oxygen, Wellman-Galusha air, and Winkler air fuel gases. Koppers-Totzek oxygen fuel gas was an excellent substitute fuel, exhibiting equal or better performance than natural gas. Wellman-Galusha air and Winkler air fuel gas both exhibited flame stability problems on the unmodified burner. These two fuels also gave lower thermal efficiencies than natural gas and Koppers-Totzek oxygen fuel gas when fired on a modified fuel injector.
