Abstract:
A splitter divides a flow of low heating value biomass into a central stream and an annular stream. A stable flame may be achieved by combusting the central stream with oxygen. This avoids the use of costly fossil fuels or biomass (that have higher heating values than the biomass fuel) as an auxiliary fuel for achieving a stable flame.
Abstract:
A process for producing a flat flame in an industrial melting furnace using solid fuel is provided. The flat flame is produced by a burner combusting particulate fuel by injecting a plurality of fuel streams (4) lying in a plane above a plurality of high speed primary oxidant steams (6) lying in a different plane and under a plurality of secondary oxidant streams (8) lying in another different plane. The velocity of the fuel streams (4) is decreased just upstream of the burner block front face in order to slow down the fuel streams (4) to allow a sufficiently long residence time in the furnace for satisfactory burnout and avoid accumulation of fuel particles inside the fuel nozzle.
Abstract:
Method of designing a burner for combusting fuel with an oxidizer containing at least 23%vol O2, the block of the burner defining in succession a feed passage, a substantially cylindrical burner chamber having a length Lc and optionally a widening terminal section having a length Ls, so that Lc/(Lc + Ls) > 2/3 and 30mN = 0,5*(?If + S???)* [(Lc + Ls)2/So] = 70mN, whereby?If and S??? are the total fuel respectively oxidizer injection momentum at nominal power and So is the cross sectional area of the outlet opening of the block in the plane perpendicular to the burner axis.

Abstract:
Solid particulate fuels are combusted with a primary oxidant stream of industrially pure oxygen and a secondary oxidant stream of industrially pure oxygen optionally mixed with a portion of recycled flue gas. The fuel is conveyed with a carrier gas of air or recycled flue gas. An oxygen concentration out of the total amount of the fuel stream and the primary and secondary oxidant streams is 40-63% by mass or 47-70% by volume.
