The mixing plenum has inner and outer chambers, with a mixing nozzle for introducing a gaseous fuel concentrically located in the inner chamber. The burner is operated with either high excess air or flue gas recirculation to produce a low temperature flame at a flame face defined by the honeycomb. The thorough premixing of air and fuel ensures a flame with homogeneous air-to-fuel ratios across the flame face, producing low NOx levels. The honeycomb and flametrap also function as flame arrestors to prevent burner flashback. A method for attaining a low temperature, low NOx flame using excess air, with or without flue gas recirculation, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A burner structure and a method of operating a burner to reduce the pollutant emissions produced thereby are disclosed. Air and gas are premixed in a manner such that a substantially homogeneous mixture containing excess combustion air results. The velocity of the substantially homogeneous mixture is increased as it passes through the burner causing the "residence time" associated with the formation of the flame to be decreased, i.e., the combustion gases are in the reaction zone of the flame for a significantly shorter period of time, reducing the production of NO.sub.x. In order to prevent the flame from "lifting-off" the burner because of the high velocity of the substantially homogeneous air/gas mixture, flame stabilizing devices and/or a burner structure which provides flame stabilization are utilized resulting in the production of a high heat flux and low pollutant emissions.

A simple apparatus integrates the combustion zone with a quenching zone for the combustion product stream.
