According to various embodiments, a system includes a gasification fuel injector. The gasification fuel injector includes a tip portion, an annular coolant chamber disposed in the tip portion, a recessed surface for cooling control and a first structural support extending through the annular coolant chamber. The first structural support divides the annular coolant chamber into a first passage and a second passage.

A pulverized coal burner for an oxyfuel combustion boiler which attains uniform combustion from a pulverized coal burner and which constrains a temperature rise of an oxygen injection nozzle is provided. The burner includes burner inner and outer cylinders arranged to penetrate a wind box and come close to a throat portion. A pulverized coal feed passage is provided between the burner inner and outer cylinders. A plurality of oxygen injection devices are arranged outwardly of the burner outer cylinder so as to directly feed oxygen ahead of the burner outer cylinder.

The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for utilizing fossil energy with low carbon emissions, which belongs to a technical field of clean energy and climate mitigation. The present invention is applicable for utilizing fossil, biomass and other carbon-containing fuels in coastal and marine areas to produce clean energy with low carbon emissions to atmosphere and low cost. The process comprises the main steps of carrying out the oxygen enriched combustion and using seawater to scrub the flue gas once to realize carbon capture, and the scrubbing water is recovered to a water quality in accordance with legal requirements and then is discharged into the ocean to realize carbon storage of ocean natural alkalinity, so that the resources of carbon sink and carbon pool in natural ocean are used to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in a safe and environment-friendly form.

A burner includes an oxidant feed passage, a fuel feed passage surrounding the oxidant feed passage, an air feed surrounding the fuel feed passage, a movable air flow diverter and, optionally, a flame nozzle. The movable air flow diverter and/or flame nozzle are independently configured to create one or a plurality of gas recirculation regions adjacent the downstream tip of the burner to improve the mixing and reaction of the fuel and oxidant, and overall combustion process efficiency. A related furnace and method for generating a stable flame with the burner are also provided.

A burner assembly combines oxygen and fuel to produce a flame. The burner assembly includes an oxygen supply tube adapted to receive a stream of oxygen and a solid fuel conduit arranged to extend through the oxygen tube to convey a stream of fluidized, pulverized, solid fuel into a flame chamber. Oxygen flowing through the oxygen supply tube passes generally tangentially through a first set of oxygen-injection holes formed in the solid fuel conduit and off-tangentially from a second set of oxygen-injection holes formed in the solid fuel conduit and then mixes with fluidized, pulverized, solid fuel passing through the solid fuel conduit to create an oxygen-fuel mixture in a downstream portion of the solid fuel conduit. This mixture is discharged into a flame chamber and ignited in the flame chamber to produce a flame.

Method and burner for combusting a main fuel with a main oxidizer, whereby flows of the main fuel and the main oxidizer are injected via an injector end, comprising at least one metallic injector, said injector end being positioned in the upstream section of a main passage of a refractory block and whereby multiple jets are injected into the downstream section of the main passage to increase mixing and turbulence of the flows of the main fuel and the main oxidizer.

The invention is directed to a burner for the gasification of a solid fuel, comprising a burner front having an opening for discharging a solid fuel, wherein the opening for discharging the solid fuel is fluidly connected to a central passage way and wherein the central passage way has a downstream part wherein the diameter of the passage way increases over a first length and subsequently decreases over a second length terminating at the burner front and wherein inside the downstream part of the central passage way a hollow member is positioned, and wherein the hollow member has an internal increasing diameter and inner decreasing diameter aligned with the increasing and decreasing diameter of the hollow member and wherein the connecting conduits have a discharge opening positioned in the diverging part of the hollow member.

An apparatus is provided for combining oxygen and fuel to produce a mixture to be burned in a burner. The oxygen-fuel mixture is ignited in a fuel-ignition zone in a flame chamber to produce a flame.
