Development of Low Btu Gas Burner for Industrial Application, Phase 3. Final Report

摘要

The Canadian Gas Research Institute has designed and constructed a 300 kW (1,000,000 Btu/h) burner for low energy gas. The burner was field tested at the site of a wood gasifier. The burner was tested with both cleaned and ''dirty'' low energy gas. The firing rate was varied from 150 to 300 kW. Flame properties were controlled by varying the ratio of primary to secondary air. The burner proved suitable for gases with heating values from 3 to 6 MJ/m exp 3 (80 to 160 Btu/ft exp 3 ). It also proved suitable for use with ''dirty'' gas. The important parameters for scaling up the burner design were determined. Recommendations are made for various factors in burner construction. (ERA citation 10:025962)
