Abstract
The report gives results of a program to provide quantitative data on combustion emissions from high-temperature low-Btu gas. It complements a recently completed EPA project that evaluated emissions resulting from the burning of ambient-temperature low-Btu gas. The experimental results were gathered from a pilot-scale furnace fired with a movable-vane boiler burner at a heat input of 0.66 MW (2.25 million Btu/hr). The gases tested in this program--Winkler oxygen, Koppers-Totzek oxygen, and Wellman-Galusha air--ranged from 5.8 MJ/cu m (156 Btu/cu ft) to 9.9 MJ/cu m (266 Btu/cu ft). Measurements were made of NO emissions, temperatures within the flame, and flame emissivity. A mathematical model was used to predict the efficiencies of the furnace with the various fuels; the model agreed well with the experimental measurements. The NO emissions of the gases tested were ordered by the adiabatic flame temperature.

v. 2. Elevated fuel temperature. This program was initiated to provide quantitative data on combustion emissions from "high-temperature," low-Btu gas. It was intended to complement a recently completed EPA project that evaluated emissions resulting from the burning of "ambient-temperature," low-Btu gas. All the experimental results were gathered from a pilot-scale furnace fired with a moveable vane boiler burner at a heat input of 0.66 MW (2,250,000 Btu/hr). The gases tested in this program, Winkler oxygen (WO), Koppers-Totzek oxygen (KTO), and Wellman-Galusha air (WGA), ranged from 5.8 MJ/m3 (156 Btu/ft3) to 9.9 MJ/m3 (266 Btu/ft3). Measurements were made of NO emissions, temperatures within the flame, and flame emissivity. A mathematical model was used to predict the efficiencies of the furnace with the various fuels and the model agreed well with thte experimental measurements. The NO emissions of the gases tested were ordered by the adiabatic flame temperature.
