  • Method for reducing No.sub.x using atomizing steam injection control
    Patent number: 5601424
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling NO.sub.x produced by a natural gas fired combustion source includes establishing a control curve for the combustion source for indicating NO.sub.x levels based on steam injection rates and fuel flow rates provided to the burners. The atomizing steam injection flow rate provided to the burner is measured as well as the fuel flow rate. A NO.sub.x level is determined for the combustion source based on the atomizing steam injection flow rate, the firing rate, and the fuel flow rate. NO.sub.x levels are lowered by adding atomized steam to the burners according to the pre-programmed control curve.
