A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted to obtain information regarding recent developments in the control of NOx emissions by combustion modification. Most research on control of NOx by modifications to the combustions system has addressed utility boiler applications. This information was analyzed, and burner designs were formulated for application to industrial process heating. Thirty-four burner manufacturers were also contacted to determine the availability of low-NOx burners. Eight manufacturers indicated that they were employing low-excess air as an NOx control method, and two manufacturers indicated that they were working on burners employing more sophisticated control methods. Ten of the manufacturers expressed interest in participating in a program to develop low-NOx burners for various industrial processes.
