Gas composition and temperature profiles have been measured inside a 200 kW, entrained flow, pulverized coal, Controlled Profile Reactor (CPR) using reburning for NO reduction. NO, CO, NOx, O2, and samples were collected with a water-cooled and water-quenched stainless steel probe and analyzed on a dry basis with on-line gas analyzers and an ion-sensitive electrode (NH3) over a grid of 36 locations within the reactor. Temperature data were obtained with a suction pyrometer using a S-type shielded thermocouple. NO reduction with reburning was investigated over a range of residence times and reburning zone stoichiometric ratios to optimize for maximum NO reduction in the flue gases. A decrease in stoichiometric ratio of the reburning zone resulted in an increase in NO reduction up to a maximum of 70 % at a stoichiometric ratio of 0.78. Moving the tertiary air injector up and down axially varied the residence time in the reburning zone. Increasing residence time in the reburning zone was initially beneficial but became unimportant when residence time became longer than 700 ms. The location of the reburning zone was found to be optimal when reburning fuel was directed at the location of highest NO concentration (i.e., immediately following NO formation). In comparison to a baseline case without reburning, the rate of carbon burnout was found to be higher with 20 cm of primary fuel injection but proceeded more slowly through the reburning zone. At the end of the reactor, burnout was more complete in the baseline case. The species, temperature, and solid sample elemental concentrations appeared to be self-consistent and should provide accurate data for comparison with modeling results.
