A reverse-jet swirl pulverized coal burner with multi-stage recirculations includes a pre-combustion housing, a primary coal-air structure, a rich-lean output structure, an inner secondary air structure, and an outer secondary air structure. The pre-combustion housing has a pre-combustion chamber and a housing outlet. The primary coal-air structure is configured to separate a primary coal-air flow into a fuel-rich coal-air flow and a fuel-lean coal-air flow. The rich-lean output structure is configured to output the fuel-lean coal-air flow and block the fuel-rich coal-air flow to make the fuel-rich coal-air flow reversely flow to the pre-combustion chamber. The inner secondary air structure is configured to introduce an inner secondary air into the pre-combustion chamber, thereby forming a first-stage recirculation zone in the pre-combustion chamber and forming a second-stage recirculation zone. The outer secondary air structure is configured to form a third-stage recirculation zone at the housing outlet.

A burner includes an oxidant feed passage, a fuel feed passage surrounding the oxidant feed passage, an air feed surrounding the fuel feed passage, a movable air flow diverter and, optionally, a flame nozzle. The movable air flow diverter and/or flame nozzle are independently configured to create one or a plurality of gas recirculation regions adjacent the downstream tip of the burner to improve the mixing and reaction of the fuel and oxidant, and overall combustion process efficiency. A related furnace and method for generating a stable flame with the burner are also provided.

A burner system for a cooking device has at least one burner surface wherein the at least one burner surface is designed in such a way that the burner system has a low minimum power density with homogeneous temperature distribution at the same time. In a first aspect, the burner system includes a fuel supply and a first burner surface for burning the fuel that is provided downstream of the fuel supply. The burner system includes a second burner surface for afterburning that is separate from the first burner surface and is provided downstream from the first burner surface. Moreover, a method for operating the burner system is shown.

Burner comprising an inner fluid supply unit and an outer fluid supply unit, wherein the inner fluid supply unit comprises a first inner fluid ejection element, a second inner fluid ejection element encompassing the first inner fluid ejection element and a third inner fluid ejection element encompassing the second inner fluid ejection element and wherein the inner fluid supply unit is configured for ejecting a first oxidant, a second oxidant and a fuel. The outer fluid supply unit comprises at least two outer fluid ejection elements, arranged at a specific radial distance from the inner fluid supply unit, wherein each individual outer fluid ejection element is configured for ejecting the first oxidant and the second oxidant by means of a central fluid ejection element and an encompassing fluid ejection element encompassing the central fluid ejection element.

Emissions of NO.sub.X and/or CO are reduced at the stack by systems and methods wherein a primary fuel is thoroughly mixed with a specific range of excess combustion air. The primary fuel-air mixture is then discharged and anchored within a combustion chamber of a burner. Further, the systems and methods provide for dynamically controlling NO.sub.X content in emissions from a furnace by adjusting the flow of primary fuel and of a secondary stage fuel, and in some cases controlling the amount or placement of combustion air into the furnace.

A method heats a furnace process chamber with the combustion of fuel gas. The method heats the process chamber in a preheat mode when the temperature of the process chamber is below the autoignition temperature of the fuel gas. The preheat mode forms preheated combustion air by directing the combustion air through a regenerative bed. A stream of the preheated combustion air is directed into the process chamber in a condition unmixed with fuel gas. The preheat mode also forms a fuel rich mixture of the fuel gas and unheated combustion air. The fuel rich mixture is directed into the process chamber adjacent to the stream of preheated combustion air.

A burner and methods of using the burner. The burner produces a flame from combustion air and fuel gas. Flue gas, also produced, can be withdrawn and recycled to the burner. A cooling or condition gas, such as ambient air, may be mixed with the flue gas to reduce its temperature. The burner may also utilize a stage injection so that a portion of the produced flue gas is recycled internally.

There is provided a combustible waste injection device and a method for operating the same which can suppress a landing combustion of a combustible waste and suppress excessive change of a flame state from a cement kiln burner even if a rate of using the combustible waste fluctuates. The combustible waste injection device according to the present invention is provided with a combustible waste flow channel which is arranged in an inner side of the air flow channel in an innermost shell, is installed in parallel to an axial direction of the cement kiln burner device and is provided for flow feeding a combustible waste flow, and an assist air inflow port which can flow an assist air flow into the combustible waste flow channel toward an axis center of the combustible waste flow channel in the vicinity of an injection port of the combustible waste flow channel, and the assist air inflow port is arranged at a plurality of positions in relation to a circumferential direction.

A burner and methods of using the burner. The burner utilizes bypass conduits to separate the combustion air that is passed to the primary combustion zone into two or more portions. The two portions are injected into the primary combustion zone at different points so as to reduce the flame temperature. A NOx reducing medium may be mixed with the combustion air in the bypass conduit. The NOx reducing medium may be flue gases from a combustion chamber having the primary combustion zone.

Various aspects provide for a fluidized bed reactor comprising a container having a bed of bed solids and a splashgenerator configured to impart a directed momentum to a portion of the bed solids. A bedwall may separate the bed solids into first and second reaction zones, and the directed momentum may be used to transfer bed solids from one zone to the other. A return passage may provide for return of the transferred bed solids, providing for circulation between the zones. A compact circulating bubbling fluidized bed may be integrated with a reactor having first and second stages, each with its own fluidization gas and ambient. A multistage reactor may comprise a gaswall separating at least the gas phases above two different portions of the bed. A gaslock beneath the gaswall may provide reduced gas transport while allowing bed transport, reducing contamination.
