An embodiment is an emissions reduction system for exhaust gases. The emissions reduction system includes a reaction chamber with one or more parallel flow tubes. Each parallel flow tube includes a heating element to heat exhaust gases to oxidize PICs and other pollutants contained in and/or carried by the exhaust gases. The reaction chamber may also include an adjustable bypass for the exhaust gases to variably bypass the parallel flow tubes. The reaction chamber may further include an oxidizing agent injector to improve the oxidation of the PICs and other pollutants in the reaction chamber. The emissions reduction system of an embodiment may further include a catalyst bed in fluid communication with the reaction chamber to further reduce emissions.

A swirl preburner that includes a first core defining a first swirl chamber having a first swirl chamber first end and a first swirl chamber second end, the first swirl chamber comprising a first diameter at the first swirl chamber first end and a second smaller diameter at the first swirl chamber second end that is smaller than the first diameter; and a second core defining a second swirl chamber having a second swirl chamber first end and a second swirl chamber second end, the second swirl chamber comprising a third diameter at the second swirl chamber first end and a fourth smaller diameter at the second swirl chamber second end that is smaller than the third diameter, the first diameter being smaller than the third diameter and larger than the fourth smaller diameter.

A swirl preburner having a first swirl core defining a first swirl chamber having a first swirl chamber first end and a first swirl chamber second end. The swirl preburner further includes a second swirl core defining a second swirl chamber having a second swirl chamber first end and a second swirl chamber second end. The swirl preburner also includes a mixing element defining a mixing chamber, the mixing chamber surrounding a portion of the first and second chamber at least including the first chamber second end and the second chamber second end.
