A program is under way to evaluate the use of natural gas as an NO{sub x} control technique for municipal solid waste (MSW) combustion systems. The program is funded jointly by the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) Sustaining Membership Program (SMP), the Gas Research Institute (GRI), and Riley Stoker Corporation (Riley) and is a cooperative development effort between IGT, Riley, and Takuma Company, Ltd. (Takuma). The program entails assessment of applicable NO{sub x} control technologies and acquisition of baseline data from a modern existing MSW mass burn facility, followed by pilot-scale development of the selected NO{sub x} control techniques and preparation of design specifications for field verification of this technology. This paper concentrates on the results of the pilot-scale developmental efforts. 6 refs., 13 figs., 5 tabs.
