Effect of fuel nitrogen and hydrogen content on emissions in hydrocarbon combustionThe results of an investigation of the effect of operating conditions and fuel properties on emission for the two-stage combustion of fuels with significant organic nitrogen content are presented. The way in which the emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide are affected by the decreased hydrogen content and the increased organic nitrogen content of coal-derived fuels is discussed. Limited measurements of smoke from the rich-lean combustion of simulated syncrude fuels indicate relatively high smoke emissions in spite of the very lean second-stage burning. This fact, together with the high observed carbon monoxide emissions, suggests that trade-offs will be necessary between the conditions that minimize NOx and those that control CO and smoke emissions.
