The method includes introducing a fuel into the combustion chamber via a plurality of nozzles, each nozzle having an associated stoichiometry for an output end of the nozzle. The method further includes measuring the stoichiometry of each nozzle via one or more sensors to obtain stoichiometric data, and determining that at least one of a frequency and an amplitude of spectral line fluctuations derived from the stoichiometric data has exceeded a threshold. The method further includes adjusting the stoichiometry of at least one of the nozzles based at least in part on the stoichiometric data so as to maintain a flame stability of the combustion chamber.

A supercritical CO.sub.2 boiler capable of realizing uniform combustion, corrosion resistance and coking resistance, and a boiler system are provided. The supercritical CO.sub.2 boiler includes a main combustion chamber, an upper furnace, a furnace arch and a flue, wherein a cross section of the main combustion chamber is circular or oval, or is of an N-sided shape, where N>4; at least four burner groups are disposed on the main combustion chamber, each group of burner nozzles corresponding to each burner group includes a recirculating air nozzle, a primary air nozzle and a secondary air nozzle; lateral recirculating air nozzles symmetrically distributed are respectively disposed at two sides of the primary air nozzle, the recirculating air nozzle and the lateral recirculating air nozzle are configured to feed recirculating flue gas or a mixed gas of the recirculating flue gas and secondary air into the main combustion chamber.

The present invention relates to a pulverized coal fired boiler with wall-attachment secondary air and grid overfire air. Primary burners including primary air spouts, secondary air spouts and close coupled overfire air spouts arranged at intervals along the height direction of a hearth are arranged on four corners of the hearth. Two-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts and one-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts are arranged from bottom to top in a primary combustion zone where the primary burners are located. One-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts are arranged in a reduction zone between the primary burners and the top overfire air spouts, and grid overfire air spouts are arranged in a burnout zone where the overfire air is supplied. By adopting the pulverized coal fired boiler with wall-attachment secondary air and grid overfire air according to the present invention, the NO amount generated in the hearth is reduced, the NO reduction rate along a flame is improved, the coke burnout rate is improved, less coke which is not burnt out enters into the burnout zone, slagging on the water-cooled wall is reduced, and ultralow emission of NOx may be realized on the premise that the combustion efficiency is not reduced, slag is not agglomerated in the hearth and the flue gas temperature deviation is small.

A steam generating system includes a furnace, a nozzle tip assembly for pulverized coal and primary air as well as means for conveying secondary air in the furnace. The nozzle according to the invention comprises a nozzle body (3) and several channels (5) being connected with the nozzle body, the channels are diverging from each other. At the exit faces (17) of the channels obstructions (13) are disposed to induce huge turbulences of the primary air when entering the furnace. Due to these turbulences the primary air and the entrained coal are mixed very well before being combusted in the furnace. This results in a better more effective combustion with reduced NOx-emissions.

An incinerator comprising a cylindrical housing and a plurality of burners is provided. Each burner is oriented to emit gas at an upward and radially inward angle such that the burners collectively generate an upward, helical gas flow. A method for incinerating gas in a cylindrical housing is provided. Flowing gas through a first burner, oriented at an angle, generates an upward, helical gas flow within the cylindrical housing and draws a gas flow through a second burner.
