Abstract

In-combustion air emission control is accomplished by proper design and operation of a combustion device, either a burner or an engine. The existing process of in-combustion control is primarily limiting the formation of NO x by modifying the combustion temperature and other conditions. This chapter starts with an introduction of typical combustion processes followed by specific in-combustion air emission control technologies, including low-NOx burner, sorbent injection for in furnace SO2 capture, and approaches to reduce soot formation, and so on.
