As a result of study on the NOx formation choracteristics of pre-mixed flames, we have succeeded in developing new low NOx berners. These burners can be used for various kinds of chemical furnaces as gas and/or oil firing burners with a natural draft system.
According to the results of test of these burners in the semicommercialized scale test furnace, their NOx emissions were very small, being 30 ppm in propane or naphtha firing, 45 ppm in A heavy oil firing and 90 ppm in C heavy oil firing (of the time of combustion of 5% excess O2)
