More importance than ever before is attached to reducing harmful gas emissions from industry, both in Poland and worldwide. Rising prices of gas emissions allowances, stricter criteria for suitability for use and the desire to protect the environment are driving the search for new technological solutions and logistics to deliver cost savings and lower emissions. The creation of an appropriate numerical model can translate into real savings as well as having other benefits. This paper presents a numerical analysis of the basic operating parameters of a low-emission swirl burner. The analyzed burner is a typical example of a burner with air staging. The burner was placed in a cylindrical combustion chamber. In the first stage, a cold flow analysis without reaction was performed showing the velocity profile, flow vectors and the flow of coal particles. Then calculations were carried out taking into account combustion of coal dust particles in the chamber. The analysis of combustion products, temperatures prevailing in the chamber and the content of nitrogen oxides is presented.

The use of hydrogen-rich fuels may be challenging for burner designers due to unique properties of hydrogen compared to conventional fuels such as natural gas. Burner retrofit may be required to use hydrogen-enriched fuels in combustion systems that are designed for natural gas combustion. This study aimed to experimentally investigate NOx emissions from a novel low NOx burner fueled by methane-hydrogen mixtures. The burner was tested in a cylindrical combustion chamber at atmospheric pressure. Burner thermal load of 25 kW (LHV) and air-fuel equivalence ratio of 1.15 were maintained throughout the experimental campaign. The influence of burner design parameters on NOx emissions was tested for various fuel compositions using a statistically cognizant experimental design. The study revealed that shifting the burner head upstream can deliver NOx emission reduction. In contrast, supplying fuel to the burner through secondary fuel ports increases NOx emissions, particularly when the burner head is shifted upstream. The lowest predicted NOx emissions from the burner are below 9 ppmvd at 3% of O2 and 14 ppmvd at 3% of O2 for 5% and 30% mass fraction of hydrogen in the fuel, respectively.
