A combined-cycle power plant comprises a gas turbine engine for generating exhaust gas, an electric generator driven by the gas turbine engine, a steam generator receiving the exhaust gas to heat water and generate steam, and a duct burner system configured to heat exhaust gas in the steam generator before generating the steam and that comprises a source of hydrogen fuel, a fuel distribution manifold to distribute the hydrogen fuel in a duct of the steam generator, and an igniter to initiate combustion of the hydrogen fuel in the exhaust gas. A method for heating exhaust gas in a steam generator for a combined-cycle power plant comprises directing combustion gas of a gas turbine engine into a duct, introducing hydrogen fuel into the duct, combusting the hydrogen fuel and the combustion gas to generate heated gas, and heating water in the duct with the heated gas to generate steam.

One object of the present invention is to provide a burner for producing inorganic spheroidized particles which can significantly reduce the amount of warming gas generated and suppress the generation of soot during combustion. The present invention provides a burner (1) for producing inorganic spheroidized particles, including a raw material powder supply path (2A) which supplies inorganic powder as raw material powder; a first fuel gas supply path (3A) which supplies a first fuel gas containing no carbon source; and a first combustion-supporting gas supply path (4A) which supplies a first combustion-supporting gas.

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.

Air and fuel are directed from a burner outlet into a furnace process chamber in streams concentric on an axis, including an annular peripheral stream that includes fuel gas and adjoins products of combustion in the process chamber.

A system for combusting a methane stream in an ITM combustion reactor and a method of combusting the methane stream, wherein an optimized volumetric flow rate of the methane stream provides an off-stoichiometric molar ratio of methane to oxygen, which is provided by an ITM in the ITM combustion reactor, and the method further offers a relatively constant oxygen flux via the ITM as well as a prolonged membrane stability. Various embodiments of the system and the method are also provided.

The present invention relates to the supplying power to burners for oxy-fuel combustion glass melting furnaces, including a fuel injecting means and a hot oxygen power supplying means, the dispensing of oxygen being carried out so as to develop a staged combustion, a fraction of the oxygen being concurrently injected into the fuel, said oxygen being supplied essentially without heating prior to the supplying thereof into the fuel injecting means.
