Off-Stoichiometric
Combustion/Staged combustion:
combusting the fuel in two or more
steps. Fuel rich then fuel lean.
Flue gas recirculation: reroute
some of the flue gas back to the
furnace; lower O
2
and allow NOx
to proceed the frozen reactions
Water injection: reduce flame
temperature; energy penalty
Modification of Operating Conditions
Why?

Gas reburning: injection of natural gas into the boiler
above the main burner to create a fuel-rich reburn zone;
hydrocarbon radicals react with NOx to reduce NOx to N

Low-NOx burner: inhibit NOx formation by
controlling the mixing of fuel and air; lean excess
air and off-stoichiometric combustion

Wet Absorption: generally good for only NO

because NO is insoluble. Need to oxidize NO first.
