  • Predicting NO emissions
    Patent number: 8244505
    Abstract: A method of predicting a nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission rate of a non-continuous, natural gas-fired boiler is presented. The method includes: calculating a correlation of the NOx emission rate to a measured fuel flow rate and a sampled oxygen (O2) concentration based on a plurality of sampled NOx emission concentrations, measured fuel flow rates, and sampled (O2) concentrations during operation of the non-continuous, natural gas-fired boiler using a computing device; calculating a predicted NOx emission rate based on the correlation with the measured fuel flow rate and the sampled O2 concentration using the computing device; and providing the predicted NOx emission rate for use by a user.
    Type: Grant
