ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF MODERNIZATION OF HIGH POWER WATER-HEATING BOILERS by P. M. Glamazdin, D. P. Glamazdin, Yu. P. Yarmolchick

“…As a result of experiments, it was observed that if a decrease of the twist rate takes place the emission of nitrogen oxides is reduced. The methods of further reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides have been determined, viz. the device recirculation of flue gases by mixing them in a blast air; conducting the process at low excess of air with controlled chemical underburning when complete oxidation of carbon to CO2 accomplishes outside the furnace at the initial section of the convection part; hydration of blowing air into the humidification amount of 1.5–2.0 % of the nominal output of the boiler.…”
