 Plasma Low-NOx Burner

Nitrogen forms into amino-type nitrogen radicals（HCN,NH3,CN) as the
volatiles are released from coal. The ignition process occurs inside the
plasma burner, therefore the oxidants concentration is low (Excess air
coefficient:α ＜0.3) and the early stage of combustion occurs in strong
reductive medium. The amino-type nitrogen radicals transform into N2
instead of NOx.

 Dual-scale Combustion Technology

Dual-scale combustion technology is the combination and organization of

proper utilization of furnace Space and pulverized coal combustion Process.

Space scale. On the horizontal plane, unique air and coal streams form
into two zones: the central zone and the near wall zone. The two zones each
has distinctive characteristics of temperature, fluid flow and flue gas content
field. On the vertical plane, there are two reaction zones.

Process scale. Process scale emphasizes the distinction of three
fields’(temperature field, fluid flow field, flue gas content and density field)
characteristics at critical stage of combustion. This includes the ignition
process, flame spread process, burn out process. The flame brim is
controllable.

The vertical and horizontal reaction zones effectively control the NOx
formation and reduce fly ash carbon.

Highly stabilized combustion, low-NOx, slagging prevention, better
adaptability to different types of coal.

 Characteristics of Plasma Dual-scale Low-NOx
Combustion Technology

The plasma dual-scale low-NOx combustion technology reduces

TPS NOx emission to below 200mg/m³ without boiler efficiency
loss.

Combines low-NOx combustion with fuel-oil free technology,
which brings general effect of energy-saving and environment
protection.

Reduces NOx emission while keeps the cost-effective and safe
operation of boiler.

Slagging prevention, stabilized combustion and increased burn-
off rate.
