tend to recirculate hot combustion gas which is retrieved<br />

through an internal reverse flow zone around the extension of the<br />

burner centerline. The recirculated combustion gas is deficient<br />

in oxygen, thus producing effect of FGR. Combustion of the fuel<br />

in the first stage thus takes place in oxygen-deficient zone<br />

before the fuel is diluted in the secondary air. Installing such<br />

a burner is claimed to reduce <strong>NOx</strong> emissions <strong>from</strong> the kiln-burning<br />

zone by up to 30 percent.7,11,12<br />

Coupling a low-<strong>NOx</strong> step burner with flue gas recirculation<br />

has been shown to reduce <strong>NOx</strong> emissions further in a cement<br />

kiln.13 The additional <strong>NOx</strong> reduction attributable to FGR was<br />

estimated to<br />
