This paper describes a series of experiments conducted with natural gas in air and in mixtures of oxygen and recycled flue gas, termed O2/CO2recycle combustion. The objective is to enrich the flue gas with CO2to facilitate its capture and sequestration. Detailed measurements of gas composition, flame temperature and heat flux profiles were taken inside CANMET's 0.3MWth down-fired vertical combustor fitted with a proprietary pilot scale burner. Flue gas composition was continuously monitored. The effects of burner operation, including swirling of secondary stream and air staging, on flame characteristics and NOxemissions were also studied. The results of this work indicate that oxy–gas combustion techniques based on O2/CO2combustion with flue gas recycle offer excellent potential for retrofit to conventional boilers for CO2emission abatement. Other benefits of the technology include considerable reduction and even elimination of NOxemissions, improved plant efficiency due to lower gas volume and better operational flexibility.
