Abstract

The nitrogen oxide yield in a combustor burning an ammonia rich product gas from a bubbling bed gasifier has been investigated. The measurements showed a surprisingly small effect of the excess air in the combustor on the NO_x emissions. To understand the reason for this behaviour the nitrogen chemistry in the combustor has been studied using CFD combined with a detailed description of the fuel-N chemistry. With higher oxygen excess a NO_x yield of 22% is calculated compared to a measured NO_x yield of 21 %. In the case with lower oxygen excess the corresponding numbers are 20% and 18%, respectively.
