EcoLowNOx: Auxiliary Combustion System for Efficient Combustion with Low-NOx emissions for Foundation Industries

玻璃和钢铁制造炉经常在1400 ℃以上的温度下运行，迫切需要新的，降低氮氧化物排放和提高炉子效率的经济有效的技术，以满足日益严格的监管要求。全球燃烧系统（GCS）以前已经证明，（实验室和商业规模）用于端燃式玻璃窑炉的“辅助喷射”燃烧技术，可将NOx减少80%以上该项目由塔塔钢铁和Liberty Speciality Steels支持，将评估GCS辅助注入技术在一系列新的玻璃和钢铁熔炉场景中的性能，使用玻璃期货350 kW燃烧测试-来自南威尔士大学的一个研究小组将筛选和选择现有的计算机模型，以了解如何将GCS技术转移到将进行一项技术经济审查，以评估GCS技术在这些熔炉应用中的可行性，该审查将用于确定进一步的工作，以降低该技术的风险，使其能够在商业熔炉上试用。

Glass and Steel manufacturing furnaces frequently operate at temperatures above 1400'C, creating a pressing need for new, cost-effective technologies to reduce NOx emissions and increase furnace efficiency to meet ever tightening regulatory requirements.Global Combustion Systems (GCS) have previously demonstrated (at lab and commercial-scale) an 'Auxiliary Injection' combustion technology for end-fired glass furnaces that has the potential to reduce NOx by more than 80% and increase furnace efficiency by as much as 3%.This project, supported by Tata Steel and Liberty Speciality Steels, will assess the performance of the GCS Auxiliary Injection technology for a range of new glass and steel furnace scenarios, using the Glass Futures 350kW combustion-test-bed furnace.A team from the University of South Wales will screen and select existing computer models to understand how to transfer the GCS technology into steel applications as well as to quantify potential benefits.A techno-economic review will be undertaken to assess the feasibility of the GCS technology for these furnace applications, which will be used to identify the further work required to de-risk the technology to the point at which it can be trialled on commercial furnaces.
