Original Abstract

Low-calorific fuels have a unique composition and contain inert gases (such as N2, CO2) that are not involved in the combustion process directly, but on the other hand, they can reduce peak temperatures in the flame and therefore reduce the formation of NOx emissions. The goal of this study is to prove whether the conventional burners, which were primarily designed for the combustion of natural gas, can be fired with alternative low-calorific fuels. Another objective is to check sustainability and economic balance. Several types of low-calorific fuels were designed and calculated. The calculations were performed using CHEMCAD simulation software, with emphasis on lower and higher flammability limits and adiabatic flame temperature.
