  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nLow-NOX burner\nLow-NOX burners reduce the formation of NOX by reducing peak flame temperatures, delaying but completing the combustion and increasing the heat transfer (increased emissivity of the flame). The ultra-low-NOx burners includes combustion staging (air/fuel) and flue-gas recirculation\nOxy-fuel burner\nThe technique involves the replacement of the combustion air with oxygen, with the consequent elimination/reduction of thermal NOX formation from nitrogen entering the furnace. The residual nitrogen content in the furnace depends on the purity of the oxygen supplied, on the quality of the fuel and on the potential air inlet\nFlue-gas recirculation\nThis implies the reinjection of flue-gas from the furnace into the flame to reduce the oxygen content and therefore the temperature of the flame. The use of special burners is based on internal recirculation of combustion gases which cool the root of the flames and reduce the oxygen content in the hottest part of the flames",
