2. Low NOx Burner Assembly

a. The burner assembly will be a proven dual fuel design developed specifically for Low NOx emissions.
b. The burner shall be an axial flow type based on low to moderate swirling air jet aerodynamics. It shall use
intensive and on-line adjustable fuel staging to control and minimize NOx formation. It shall use a combination
of swirl and central core bluff-body effect to stabilize the flame. A preset ratio of tangential to axial momentum
shall be used to effectively produce the required flame shape for a given furnace geometry. The flame shape and
concentration properties within the furnace confinement shall be determined by appropriate computer
simulation.
c. Knowing that the basic function of a burner is to mix fuel with air, the burner shall be of the high mixing rate
type to insure that the flame dimensions are minimized to fit the combustion chamber. The mixing efficiency of
the burner shall be such that the burner will be able to achieve complete combustion with a maximum excess air
of 15% above stoichiometry while firing either oil or gas. Complete combustion is defined as less than 49 ppm
of CO for gas firing and less than 99 ppm for oil firing. Should the burner be required to operate with more than
20% FGR to meet the required NOx emission while firing gas, then the use of high pressure (>100 psig) steam
injection shall be included to provide additional mixing boost to ensure that the flame volume remains well
within furnace confinement to avoid consequential flame impingement which can cause high CO and
combustion induced vibrations. The steam injection system shall be designed to increase the mixing quality
within the furnace to enable the burner to operate with greater efficiency at lower excess air level that will offset
the cost of the injected steam flow. The steam injection shall be efficient in reducing simultaneously both NOx
and CO emissions.
d. The gas burner shall be a low NOx lance-style spud design, with all gas lances mounted to an external gas
manifold assembly located outside the windbox. The gas lances shall be externally removable for service and
cleaning without having to enter the windbox or boiler and shall be removable while the burner is firing oil, thus
not requiring the boiler to be shut down. Each of the gas injectors shall be fully adjustable on-line for flow,
injection angle rotation and axial translation to generate an efficient staged fuel combustion that can minimize
NOx and CO formation within the constraint of the furnace boundary and physical environment.
e. The burner throat shall be fully metallic and straight cylindrical for maximum air-cooling effect. No divergent
refractory throat that results in loss of air mixing velocity and that leads the air flow to widen at burner outlet
and cause flame impingement on side walls will be accepted.
f. The oil atomizer shall be of the non pre-mix type using constant differential steam to oil pressure. The oil
injector internal atomizing steam and oil orifices shall also be adjustable by the sole replacement of a spacer
washer. This allows for the adaptation of the penetration of the steam atomized oil jets in the combustion air to
quickly reach optimum performance for the given fuel oil. With these unique adaptability features, required
combustion performances can be easily obtained upon start-up, with no boiler downtime. The burner vendor
shall include and describe all tools required to perform oil tip cleaning.
g. The burner front plate shall be of sufficient size to accommodate openings with carrier sleeves for each of the
oil units, ignitor and gas lances. Openings for two sight ports each with sight glass and one scanner port with
scanner mount complete with cooling air connection and scanner ball swivel assembly shall be supplied.
3. Ignitors
a. The ignitor shall be gas-electric and provide sufficient ignition heat input using either natural gas or propane.
b. The ignitor shall meet NFPA Class 3 requirements.
c. The ignitor shall be supplied complete with flexible steel, braided gas hose and flexible electrical harness

volts maximum to minimize the occurrence of high voltage short circuits and be mounted in a NEMA 12
enclosure located on the windbox.
d. The ignitor shall use combustion air from the burner forced draft fan and not require an independent source of
combustion air. No flame rods shall be used for ignitor flame detection.
