    Abstract: A burner for reduced NOx emission and also for the control of the shape of the flame as regards its length and spread, comprises a first combustion zone, which is contained within a cylindrical chamber lined with refractory material. A burner tube is inserted through an opening in the upstream end of the first combustion zone, the burner including means for providing and burning liquid and gaseous fuel. A first air plenum is provided upstream of the first combustion zone with means for supplying less-than-stoichiometric combustion air in a tangential swirling manner, prior to entering the first combustion zone. A second air plenum is provided coaxial with and surrounding the first combustion zone and tertiary air is supplied tangentially to this air plenum so that the tertiary air will flow in a helical swirling motion along the outside of the first combustion chamber, around the downstream end of the combustion chamber and will meet and mix with the hot products of combustion from the first combustion chamber. Control of the shape of the flame is provided by controlling the relative directions of tangential flow of air in the two plena.

    Abstract: An improved air injector for use in feed preparation in the primary reformer of a HABER processor for ammonia synthesis. In the HABER process, process gas is introduced at relatively high velocity downwardly in a process reactor through a vertical conduit. Along the axis of the conduit is an air supply pipe with a fixture which produces a plurality of downwardly and radially outwardly directed pipes attached to a plenum on the bottom of the air pipe. In this invention the number of circumferentially spaced pipes is doubled over the prior art and they are spaced circumferentially into rows directed outwardly at about a 45.degree. angle so as to present, more or less, a continuous plurality of streams of air which block the annular space and force the downflowing process gas to be turbulently mixed with the air and to form a pressurized mass of process gas and air, which is then forced, by the gas pressure, to flow downwardly in, more or less, a uniform manner through a volume of catalyst.

    Abstract: An apparatus for the control of the viscosity of fuel oil supplied to burners, which comprises, in series, pump means for supplying the fuel oil to the burner system under a selected pressure, means for heating the fuel oil output of the pump means, strainer means and control valve means and orifice means of selected length and diameter. A differential pressure cell monitors the pressure drop across the orifice due to the flow of fuel oil under a selected pressure set by the control valve. Any variations in differential pressure will be due to corresponding inverse variations of viscosity. The variations in the output of the differential pressure cell are communicated to a valve means which controls the amount of steam passing into the heating means, thus controlling the temperature of the fuel oil, and therefore its viscosity, to a proper value.

    Abstract: Apparatus for using exhaust low pressure steam for smoke suppression in flares by mixing the steam with the vented hydrocarbon gases prior to combustion, and prior to flow to the flare stack. The device comprises a cylindrical housing with means at a first end for the inflow of hydrocarbon vent gases, and outflow at the second end of hydrocarbon gases plus water vapor. Exhaust steam is entered through the side wall near the second end and the steam conduit is bent into an axial position, facing upstream of the steam flow. The end of the conduit is closed. There are a plurality of radial pipes of small diameter closed at their outer ends, extending into the steam conduit and between it and the cylindrical housing. A plurality of small diameter holes are drilled into the small pipes in a plane through the small pipes which is transverse to the axis of the housing. Steam flow issues from the small openings in one or more planes perpendicular to the axis of the housing, and at right angles to the flow of vent gases, so that the vent gases readily mix with and are heated by the steam and take up water vapor prior to combustion.

    Abstract: An apparatus for immediate ignition of waste gases and their smokeless burning which is built into a cylindrical stack, for the flow of waste gases. Near the top of the stack, there is positioned, coaxially, a steam-air pipe for supplying a mixture of steam and air. The steam and air are introduced into the pipe, by means of radial tubes, connected to a circular manifold on the outside of the stack. A circular cover plate or baffle over the steam-air pipe is supported by a plurality of broad strips equally spaced circumferentially, around the periphery of the steam-air pipe. There are a plurality of radial support arms between the stack and the steam-air pipe. These can be made from angle iron of sufficient width, the purpose being to deflect upwardly flow of the annular column of gas, to break it into a plurality of spaced circular segments of gas, the space above the arms protects a stable flame, for instant reignition of the mixture of gas, air and steam.
