Abstract:
1. A method for combustion of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel-gas, in a burner, comprising: mixing the fuel-gas with steam in a supply line to the burner, to produce a fuel-gas/steam mixture; subjecting the fuel-gas/steam mixture to plasma treatment using an electrical gas discharge plasma, to produce a plasma-treated fuel-gas/steam mixture, the electrical gas discharge plasma being generated in a compact reactor which is in kinetically close contact with a combustion chamber of the burner; supplying the plasma-treated fuel-gas/steam mixture to the burner; mixing the plasma-treated fuel-gas/steam mixture in the burner with remaining operating gases; and burning the plasma-treated fuel-gas/steam mixture and the remaining operating gases in the combustion chamber of the burner.
