Effects of Different Applications and Designs on Emission Reduction in a Gas Burner
Abstract
Inefficient energy usage is one of the main reasons of depletion of resources at a faster rate and global warming due to the higher-level emissions, which may be also an indicator of incomplete combustion. Bulk systems or large-scale systems generally are the biggest contributors to the problems stated above.
Industrial burners
are widely used in metal forming industry and the process of large-scale
production of electricity. There are strict rules for both carbon and nitrogen
based emissions in these sectors. Therefore, this study aims to provide an
enhancement in combustion efficiency and reduction in emissions using different
techniques for minimization of environmentally hazardous pollutants, which
includes concepts and designs such as oxy-fuel combustion, internal flue gas recirculation
(IFGR) or premixing. All the results has been compared with each other and they
have given in the form of tables of various outputs and temperature contours.
It has been shown that some of the concepts have greater effect than the other
ones in terms of performance and emissions.
