Abstract
The emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) from different types of oil-fired and gas-fired boilers have been investigated. Measurements have been made at three excess air ratios for two different burners for domestic boilers using light fuel oil, as well as at larger plants using WRD, heavy fuel oil and LPG. Significant emissions of VOC, in this case methane, ethylene and acetylene, could only be found in one case with a burner for domestic boilers adjusted to a soot number of 9, according to Bacharach. However, this represents practically unrealistic operating conditions. In all other cases the concentrations of VOC were below the detection limits. The emissions of NO{sub x} varied between 26 mg NO{sub 2}/MJ in one case for a burner for domestic boilers, to 183 NO{sub 2}/MJ for one of the heavy fuel oil plants. In conclusion, the survey shows that the VOC emissions from oil-fired and gas-fired boiler plants are very low. (3 refs., 17 figs., 6 tabs.).
