  • Free-jet burner and method for low CO, NO, and CO emissions
    Patent number: 12449122
    Abstract: A plugging resistant, highly stable free jet burner and method which provide Ultra-Low NOx emissions for any fuel using angular ejection, large ejection ports, auxiliary burner tips, and wide tip-to-tip spacing, and which also permit the use of a high-hydrogen or 100% hydrogen fuel to reduce or substantially eliminate carbon dioxide emissions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 21, 2025
    Assignee: ZEECO, INC.
    Inventors: Darton J Zink, Rex K Isaacs, Eric G Pratchard, John Petersen, Tim Kirk, Austin White, Zach Chandler

  • Lean pre-mix radiant wall burner apparatus and method
    Patent number: 11754282
    Abstract: A staged, lean pre-mix radiant wall burner having an internal staged fuel discharge tip and an internal flow diverter, and a method of using the radiant wall burner, which allow the combustion of a high hydrogen content fuel without the occurrence of flashbacks and which also provide reduced NOx emissions and allow a closer spacing of the burners when installed in a wall, floor, or ceiling of a fired heater in a multiple burner arrangement.
    Type: Grant

  • Plugging resistant free-jet burner and method
    Patent number: 11578865
    Abstract: A plugging resistant, highly stable free-jet burner and method which provide Ultra-Low NOx emissions using (a) large free-jet ejection ports, (b) a wide tip-to-tip spacing, and (c) auxiliary stabilization tips in the throat of the burner which are highly resistant to plugging and also produce very low levels of NOx emissions.

  • Plug-resistant burner tip and method
    Patent number: 11506381
    Abstract: A burner tip apparatus which is resistant to plugging, and a staged air method of operation which reduces the peak temperature of the flame of the burner tip to provide low levels of NOx and other emissions. The burner tip can be used as an auxiliary burner tip for stabilizing a main burner flame, or for other purposes.
