A system and method for heating process air is disclosed. Low NOx burners are provided with low temperature combustion air, e.g., less than about 0° C., and fuel at varying amounts to maintain a desired balance between low NO.sub.2 and low CO emissions. The amount of combustion air and the amount of fuel may be adjusted to achieve desired low NO.sub.2 and low CO via a feedback control system.

A combustion system includes a premix blower system and the premix blower system includes an additional air inlet with an adjustable opening which includes an additional reversibly pluggable air intake. The adjustable opening of the additional air inlet can be opened at higher elevations to compensate for thinner air.

The invention relates to a method for the thermal disposal of pollutants in industrial gases, wherein, in order to generate a flame for burning the pollutants, a fuel gas and oxygen are fed into a combustion chamber (19) of a burner (1), where they are then ignited, wherein a diluent gas is fed in in order to reduce the calorific value of the gas mixture relative to the fuel gas, while the throughput of the diluent gas is regulated as a function of the composition of the industrial gas in order to adapt the gas mixture consisting of diluent gas and fuel gas. The invention also relates to a burner (1) for generating a flame (2) in a combustion chamber (19) for burning pollutants in an industrial gas, and to a waste-gas treatment device having at least one burner (1) arranged in a combustion chamber (19).
