Abstract:
1. An electric power production and integrated burner system, comprising: at least one engine capable of producing power and an engine exhaust gas; a first reaction zone receiving at least a portion of the engine exhaust gas from the engine and configured to combust fuel and air having an equivalence ratio of more than one, thereby generating a first product; a second reaction zone receiving at least a portion of the engine exhaust gas from the engine and configured to combust fuel and air having an equivalence ratio of less than one, thereby generating a second product; and a mixing zone configured to receive the first product and second product, and mix and react the first and second products, thereby generating an exhaust with reduced NOx levels; wherein in use the mixing zone exhaust produces a flame satisfying a burner load; and wherein the combustion of fuel and air in the first and/or second reaction zones is modulated to maintain flame stability in response to changes in the burner load and while the engine is operated at a constant speed to optimize the engine's power output and efficiency.
