Increase on incineration capacity and NOx control for air enrichment in the experimental simulation of aqueous residue incineration

Resumo

The air enrichment in a combustion chamber designed to incinerate aqueous residues was investigated. In this experiment diesel fuels, and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) were used as fuels. It was found that an increase of 85% in the incineration capacity was obtained with nearly 50% O2 in the oxidant gas. It was also investigated that the CO concentration which was measured near the flame front decreased drastically with the increase of O 2 content in the oxidant gas. The experiments showed that NO x emissions could be controlled without damage in the increase of the incineration capacity by enrichment.
