Abstract
The available information on the state-of-the-art emission control technology for use of conventional and alternative fuels in stationary combustion sources is summarized. The data on alternative fuels are very limited, and therefore experience with conventional fuels is used as the basis for postulating the effectiveness of combustion process modifications on the emissions from alternate fuels. It is concluded that the primary problem will be emissions of nitrogen oxides formed from chemically bound nitrogen in the fuel molecule. There is the potential for a problem with carbon particulate formation if low NOx combustors are not designed with this in mind. Finally, based on promising results for heavy petroleum fuel oils and coal, it is concluded that burner and combustion process design modifications have a high probability of success for alternative fuels.
