Burner
Patent No. EP2811228 (titled "Burner") was filed by Haldor Topse on Jun 7, 2013. The application was issued on Aug 7, 2019.
Patent Summary
A burner for a catalytic reactor comprises an oxidant gas inlet, a process gas inlet, and a plurality of oxidant gas pipes connected to the oxidant inlet. Each pipe terminates in an oxidant nozzle, with at least two nozzles having non-parallel outlet directions. Pipes are spaced to allow process gas flow between them before mixing, and each pipe's length is at least five times its inner diameter. Multiple nozzles feature non-circular outlet cross-sections to enhance mixing. Two perforated plates are positioned between the process gas inlet and nozzle outlets to balance process gas flow toward a plug flow while minimizing pressure loss. The distance between these plates is at least one-quarter the diameter of the plate closest to the process gas inlet.
