Abstrakt: Petroleum-, coal- and shale-derived liquid fuels were burned in a downfired tunnel furnace to assess the impact of fuel properties on the formation and control of NOxemissions. A nitrogen-free oxidant mixture (Ar, CO2, O2) was used to isolate fuel NOxformation. Under excess air conditions fuel NOxcorrelated well with total fuel nitrogen content for both the potroleum and alternate fuels. Under staged combustion conditions the influence of fuel nitrogen content was much less pronounced but equally highly correlated except in the case of a coal-derived liquid.
