Coal
Mineral coal is a sedimentary rock of vegetal origin
Accumulation of plants in basins
Biochemical carbonisation: release of CO2 and CH4
(anaerobic reactions in still water with bacteria),
C enrichment
Geochemical carbonisation: chemical and metamorphic
process (loss of H2O and volatile components).

The objective of the burner is to obtain and to
maintain the fuel combustion, assuring its
intimate mixture with air
A burner has to provide regulation capability
in some degree

Coal burners
Location
The place where burners are placed are
selected in order to achieve:
Complete combustion in the chamber
Avoid flame impact on the walls
Temperature of the flying ashes low enough
(recirculation of the combustion gases)
NOx reduction (injection of air above the
burners)
