A method for transferring thermal energy to a separate endothermic process includes: (a) providing a carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) stream and a carbonaceous fuel to a heater; (b) reacting the carbonaceous fuel in the heater to produce a heated stream; (c) transferring heat from the heated stream to the separate endothermic process; (d) separating the CO.sub.2 stream from the heated stream after (c); and (e) recycling the CO.sub.2 stream to the heater after (d).

A method and assembly for supplying heat in the desired pattern while suppressing the production of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. The assembly includes a fluid mixture nozzle assembly in fluid communication with an external conduit and a radiant section of a fired process heater. The fluid mixture nozzle assembly includes an open mixing channel having an upstream converging section, a midstream mixing section, and a downstream diverging section for entraining a fluid mixture with vitiated flue gas combustion products. The fluid mixture nozzle assembly is installed in the wall, floor, or ceiling of the fired heater.

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.

A device for the post-combustion of exhaust air, comprises a burner, which has a fuel nozzle, and a burner cone and which protrudes in a raw-gas chamber, into an exhaust-air flow of exhaust air to be treated at least by the burner cone of the burner. The burner cone has a one- or a multi-part wall, which wall surrounds the pre-mixing chamber and has one or more wall segments. The fuel nozzle comprises an opening of at least one fuel outlet for discharging fuel into the pre-mixing chamber. The wall bounding the pre-mixing chamber outwardly on the lateral side has a structure such that the pre-mixing chamber formed in the interior of the wall opens in the downward direction in the manner of a funnel on at least one cone longitudinal segment symmetrically to an axis of symmetry defining the axial direction of the burner. The burner cone comprises, in at least one longitudinal segment of the cone longitudinal segment of the wall, which cone longitudinal segment opens in the manner of a funnel, a plurality of tangential inlet openings in order for exhaust air surrounding the burner cone to enter the pre-mixing chamber tangentially.

A burner apparatus and method which provide an increased amount of internal flue recirculation for reducing NO.sub.x emissions by ejecting a series of surrounding primary fuel streams and also ejecting on one or more subsequent series of surrounding fuel streams outside of the burner wall toward the burner combustion wherein each succeeding series of surrounding fuel streams must travel a greater distance to the combustion zone and each series of surrounding fuel streams must contact one or more radial impact structures provided on the exterior of the burner wall.

A combustion method in which heated flue gas heats a regenerator through which a mixture of fuel and flue gas is then passed to undergo endothermic reactions that produce syngas which is fed into a furnace together with a motive gas stream, wherein fuel is combusted with the motive gas stream to provide heat in alternate cycles.

The invention relates to a system and process for hydrogen combustion for industrial or steam generation applications, and more particularly to a hydrogen combustion burner or retrofit kit combustion system and process using a primary pure hydrogen fuel source. The burner or retrofit kit combustion system and process may also use one or more secondary fuels, such as natural gas, methane, propane, or the like, to reduce emissions of CO.sub.2. Additionally, the inventive burner, system and process can use a flame temperature reducing fluid for lowering the bulk flame temperature of the burner to increase equipment life and decrease equipment failure. The flame temperature reducing fluid can include flue gas recirculation (FGR), water injection, steam injection, and a combination thereof.
