A combustion system such as a furnace or boiler includes a perforated reaction holder configured to hold a combustion reaction that produces very low oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to burner apparatus for lean premixed flames. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a burner plate, a burner body, and a mesh. A first surface of the burner plate defines a combustion surface for a fuel/air mixture. The burner plate defines a plurality of primary ports. The burner body defines a fuel-air mixing chamber. One surface of the burner body comprises the burner plate. The burner body defines an inlet for receiving air and a fuel in the fuel-air mixing chamber. The mesh is disposed in the fuel-air mixing chamber and is in contact with a second surface of the burner plate.

A radiant burner for treating an effluent gas stream from a manufacturing processing tool includes a plurality of treatment chambers, each treatment chamber having an effluent stream inlet for supplying a respective portion of the effluent gas stream to that treatment chamber for treatment therewithin. In this way, multiple treatment chambers may be provided, each of which treats part of the effluent stream. Accordingly, the number of treatment chambers can be selected to match the flow rate of the effluent gas stream from any particular processing tool. This provides an architecture which is reliably scalable to suit the needs of any effluent gas stream flow rate.

A flame port unit structure of a combustion apparatus provided with a plurality of flame ports for forming a flame comprises: a lean flame port unit, as a flame port for jetting lean gas, including a plurality of lean flame ports arranged along a width direction which is perpendicular to the jetting direction of the lean gas; and a rich flame port unit, as a flame port for jetting rich gas, including a pair of rich flame ports provided on both sides of the lean flame port unit with respect to a width direction, wherein the lean flame port unit comprises a first region in which a gap along the width direction of the lean flame port is formed along a longitudinal direction which is perpendicular to the jetting direction and the width direction, and a second region, provided on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the first region.

A burner includes a distal flame holder, first and second fuel nozzles, a fuel and oxidant source, and a mixing tube disposed upstream from the distal flame holder. Fuel emitted from the first fuel nozzle mixes with oxidant from the oxidant source to form a fuel and oxidant mixture to support combustion in the distal flame holder. A non-reactive fluid source such as recirculated flue gas provides a non-reactive fluid for dilution of the fuel and oxidant mixture to prevent flashback.

[Problems] A flat burner elongated in the longitudinal direction has, at an upper end thereof, a main burner port (63) and a flame retention port (64) positioned at least on laterally one side of the main burner port (63). The flat burner uses hydrogen-containing fuel as a fuel. Flash back is prevented at the flame retention port in which the gas ejection speed becomes relatively small.

[Solving Means] A lean fuel-air mixture which is leaner in fuel concentration than a theoretical fuel-air ratio is ejected from the main burner port (63) and a gas containing only fuel is ejected from the flame retention port (64). In addition, the height, on the side of the main burner port (63), of the upper end of the flame retention port (64), is made lower than the height of the upper end of the main burner port (63).
