Abstract

In recent years, combustion projects have taken a new concern which prioritizes the environmental safety along with keeping the combustion efficiency as high as possible. In the following study, a very modern combustion method is discussed which focuses on obtaining a single digit level of NOx emissions. This innovative technology system is using a partially premixed lean mixture of fuel and air as well as staging low swirl combustion process. With this configuration, a clean thermal power generation that complies with the worldwide standards of gaseous emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide (5ppm) was achieved. The targeted industrial projects are sea water desalination processes - agricultural crops drying processes - steam furnaces and boilers - poultry farms heating operations in addition to air-conditioning operations for factories halls using thermal absorption chiller systems. The proposed burner design can be fueled by natural gas, diesel, biofuel, or syngas from organic wastes, within the national system for solid waste management and align with Egypt’s vision 2030 and its environmental commitments in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, according to the “carbon neutral” standard.
