Simple natural gas burner modifications which resulted in significant reduction in NO emission levels are described. These modifications can be tilized on existing equipment or can be incorporated in the design of new combustion systems. Because of the influence of furnace geometry and multiple flame interactions on NO emission levels, these modifications may not result in the same reduction in emission levels observed during the test program. However, applying the principles of aerodynamic NO control developed by this program, coupled with the use of suitable monitoring equipment, reductions in NO emission levels up to 60% are possible.
