Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Staged combustion''' is a method used to reduce the emission of [[nitrogen oxides]] ([[NOx|NO<sub>x</sub>]]) during [[combustion]]. There are two methods for staged combustion: air staged supply and fuel staged supply. Applications of staged combustion include [[boiler]]s <ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.praxair.com/praxair.nsf/AllContent/CD232FC669F0D02885256EDF006BDE37/$File/P-8872.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=3 February 2012 |archive-date=8 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308002616/http://www.praxair.com/praxair.nsf/AllContent/CD232FC669F0D02885256EDF006BDE37/$File/P-8872.pdf |url-status=dead ))</ref> and [[rocket engine]]s.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.esa.int/esaMI/Launchers_Home/SEMP9P3CXCF_0.html |title=ESA - Launchers Home - First hot firing of European staged-combustion demonstration engine |publisher=Esa.int |date=26 February 2008 |accessdate=3 February 2012))</ref>

==Air staged supply==
((expand section|date=February 2012))
((More citations needed section|date=July 2020))
Air staging, or two-stage combustion, is generally described as the introduction of over-fire air into a boiler or furnace. Staging the air in the burner (internal air staging) is generally a design feature of low NO<sub>x</sub> burners.

Furnace over-fire air (OFA) technology requires the introduction of combustion air to then be separated into primary and secondary flow sections. This achieves complete burnout and encourages the formation of [[nitrogen gas]] ([[Nitrogen gas|N<sub>2</sub>]]) rather than NO<sub>x</sub>.

Primary air (70-90%) is mixed with the fuel, producing a relatively low temperature, oxygen-deficient, fuel-rich zone, leading to only moderate amounts of NO<sub>x</sub> being formed.

The secondary (10-30%) combustion air is injected above the combustion zone through a special wind-box with air-introducing ports and/or nozzles, which are mounted above the burners.
 
[[Combustion]] is completed at this increased flame volume. Hence, the relatively low-temperature secondary stage limits the production of thermal NO<sub>x</sub>. The location of the injection ports and the mixing of over-fire air is critical to maintaining efficient combustion.

Retrofitting over-fire air on an existing boiler involves water-wall tube modifications to create the ports for the secondary air nozzles and the addition of ducts, dampers, and the wind-box. This technique is currently used in 116 pulverized coal-fired units on a total capacity of 50 [[gigawatt electrical]] (GW<sub>e</sub>) as a standalone measure.

It is used in combination with other primary measures for NO<sub>x</sub> control in 175 coal-fired units on a total capacity of 53 [[GWe|GW<sub>e</sub>]].<ref>((Cite web|date=2018-01-20|title=Air staging for NOx control (overfire air and two-stage combustion)|url=https://www.iea-coal.org/air-staging-for-nox-control-overfire-air-and-two-stage-combustion/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=IEA Clean Coal Centre|language=en-GB))</ref>

Via air staged supply, a NO<sub>x</sub> reduction rate from 50-75% is possible. Air staged supply also leverages a simple configuration and is applicable in small-scale combustion.

==Fuel staged supply==
((expand section|date=February 2012))
((More citations needed section|date=July 2020))
One form of fuel staged combustion is the procedure known as burner out of service (BOOS).<ref>((Cite web|date=2018-01-20|title=Fuel staging (burner out of service (boos), fuel biasing, reburning, or three-stage combustion)|url=https://www.iea-coal.org/fuel-staging-burner-out-of-service-boos-fuel-biasing-reburning-or-three-stage-combustion/|access-date=2020-07-21|website=IEA Clean Coal Centre|language=en-GB))</ref> The technique involves shutting off the fuel flow from one burner or more to create fuel-rich and fuel-lean zones, achieving some NO<sub>x</sub> emission control (10%). The technique is not widely used in pulverized coal-fired plants (2 units, 350 [[MWe|MW<sub>e</sub>]]).

Another method of fuel staged combustion is fuel biasing. In fuel biasing, combustion is staged by diverting fuel from the upper-level burners to the lower ones or from the center to the side burners. The aim is to create a fuel-rich lower or central zone and a fuel-lean upper or side zone in order to achieve complete burnout. The technology lowers the flame temperature and improves the balance of the oxygen concentration in the furnace. [[NOx|NO<sub>x</sub>]] emissions may be reduced by up to 30% using this technology. This technique is used in 13 pulverized coal-fired units on a total capacity of 2.7 GW<sub>e</sub>.<ref>((Cite web|date=2018-01-20|title=Fuel staging (burner out of service (boos), fuel biasing, reburning, or three-stage combustion)|url=https://www.iea-coal.org/fuel-staging-burner-out-of-service-boos-fuel-biasing-reburning-or-three-stage-combustion/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=IEA Clean Coal Centre|language=en-GB))</ref>

Via fuel staged supply, a NO<sub>x</sub> reduction rate from 50-75% is also possible, though minor temperature instabilities at the reduction zone can occur and a lower temperature is necessary. While applicable in large-scale combustion, fuel staged combustion uses a more complex constructive configuration.

==History==
((Unreferenced section|date=July 2020))
Staged combustion dates back to the [[hot bulb engine]] of the 1890s. The first stage of combustion occurred inside a hot bulb, where the hot gases were forced out into the cylinder. Then, when mixed with additional air, the second stage of combustion took place. During those times, staged combustion was used because it was a convenient method of ignition, and, likely, there was not much concern about [[air pollution]]. A modern application of the principle is the [[Stratified charge engine]], in which a spark ignites a rich mixture and the resulting flame-front ignites the weaker mixture elsewhere in the cylinder.
