BAT is to reduce NOX emissions from the lubricant burn-off oven by applying combustion control and/or modifications

TechniqueApplicability

Combustion control and/or modifications

Techniques to reduce the formation of thermal NOX emissions include a control of the main combustion parameters:

  • air/fuel ratio (oxygen content in the reaction zone)

  • flame temperature

  • residence time in the high temperature zone.

A good combustion control consists of generating those conditions which are least favourable for NOX formation

The technique is generally applicable
