Low NOx high temperature burner. Final report, April 1990-December 1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6831495
A survey of the steel reheat and aluminum melting markets was conducted to assess the technical and economic requirements and the potential for acceptance for a low NOx high performance burner. An experimental burner was developed at Altex Technologies and shipped to Eclipse for an independent evaluation. Tests at Eclipse showed NOx less than 100 ppm at 3% O2 (dry basis) at combustion air preheats to greater than 90 deg F. A manufactured prototype was designed and built. This burner concept is marginal to Eclipse's recent strategic marketing plan, so commercialization and field testing were put on hold until the GRI finds a partner to bring the concept to the market.
