Abstract

JFE Engineering has developed the advanced stoker-type incineration system “JFE Hyper 21 Stoker System”, which adopts high temperature air combustion technology. With this technology, the incinerator realizes stable combustion in the condition of low excess air ratio, which results in reduction of NOx formation. In this paper, we describe a newly developed stoker-type incinerator which utilizes counter flow combustion in addition to high temperature air combustion technology. Verification experiment was conducted and further reduction of NOx formation was achieved. Experiment and numerical simulation were carried out to consider the reduction mechanism of NOx. Flat combustion region which contributes to stable combustion was observed in both experiment and simulation. Oxygen concentration distribution in the furnace implies that effective two-staged combustion is formed. From the view of fluid analysis, strong turbulence region is formed in the downstream of the furnace. These factors are considered to interact with each other and contribute to suppress the NOx formation.
