An ammonia combustion method for combusting ammonia gas in a combustion chamber 4 includes steps of separating and producing hydrogen gas from ammonia gas, supplying the separated and produced hydrogen gas into the combustion chamber 4, combusting the hydrogen gas by performing an ignition discharge on the hydrogen gas supplied into the combustion chamber 4, and igniting the ammonia gas in the combustion chamber 4 from the combusted hydrogen gas.

A fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine comprises a housing having a housing interior chamber and a fuel swirler disposed inside the housing interior chamber. The fuel swirler has an upstream end and downstream end relative to a fuel flow direction along a fuel nozzle longitudinal axis. The fuel swirler has a first axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a first fuel supply and terminating at a first fuel outlet at the downstream end, a second axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a second fuel supply and terminating at a second fuel outlet at the downstream end, and a plurality of compressed air outlets at the downstream end. The first fuel outlet is positioned on an outermost surface of the fuel swirler and leads directly to a mixing site downstream of the fuel swirler.

A mixer for providing a fuel-air mixer to a combustor of an engine. The mixer may include a fuel flow and an air flow entering an interior passage of the mixer. The air flow may be comprised of three separate air flows. The first air flow may be parallel to a central axis of the mixer for pulling the fuel into the interior passage. The second air flow may be inclined with respect to the central axis of the mixer and the third air flow may be tangential to the mixer body. The second air flow and the third air flow may push the fuel flow toward the interior passage and away from the boundary layer flow.

A method of monitoring a flame during gas combustion in a combustion chamber (10). A heating unit (1) has an evaluation unit, an extraction line (11) and a sensor (12). The sensor (12) is arranged in the extraction line (11) to detect thermal substance properties of the gas. Thus, it is determined if it is ambient air (B), a non-combusted fuel-air mixture (C) or particularly the hydrogen-air mixture, or a waste gas (A) generated during combustion. The sensor (12) transmits a recorded measured value to the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit uses the measured value to determine whether ambient air (B), the non-combusted fuel-air mixture (C), or waste gas (A) is flowing through the extraction line (11) and thereby determines whether the flame is burning or extinguished.

The present invention relates to an integrated process that enables cost-effective low carbon power production for natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants utilizing the Linde-BASF advanced amine carbon capture technology and hydrogen technologies. The present invention is a flexible carbon capture and storage (FLECCS) system incorporating the NGCC, a post combustion capture (PCC) plant, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, hydrogen compression and storage tanks.

The present disclosure provides a nozzle structure for a hydrogen gas burner apparatus capable of reducing an amount of generated NOx. A nozzle structure for a hydrogen gas burner apparatus includes an outer tube and an inner tube concentrically disposed inside the outer tube. The inner tube is disposed so that an oxygen-containing gas is discharged from an opened end of the inner tube in an axial direction of the inner tube. The outer tube extends beyond the opened end of the inner tube in the axial direction of the inner tube so that a hydrogen gas passes through a space between an inner circumferential surface of the outer tube and an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube.

A burner sub-system, a furnace comprising the same, a fuel combustion process and steam cracking process carried out in the furnace. The burner sub-system comprises a barrier wall segment between the burner tip and the flue-gas recirculation (“FGR”) duct, effectively blocking direct gas flow between the burner tip and the FGR duct opening, but without encircling the whole burner tip. The presence of the partial barrier wall has the advantage of preventing the temperature inside the FGR duct from becoming too high, while achieving low NOx emissions from the combustion process without overheating the burner tip because of reduced amount of heat reflection to the burner tip compared to an annular barrier wall. The invention is particularly useful in furnaces where hydrogen-rich fuel gas is combusted.

A continuous reflux reactor and controlled condenser system for thermochemical treatment of plastic and/or elastomeric waste has five zones with different complements. The zones comprises the bottom zone, pyrolysis zone, meeting zone, reflux zone and extraction zone. The reactor uses a reflux zone to increase the production of a light oil in the process. The reflux zone is equipped with some studded tubes that enhances the contact area. Cold molten salt is used as the cooling element of this step. The pyrolysis zone, where the material will be pyrolyzed, has the differential of being equipped with molten salt coils using hot molten salt as the heating element. After the material passes to all zones, the material goes to a cyclone that will condense heavier hydrocarbons present in this step and send the light hydrocarbons to the condensers.
