A method for the combustion of ammonia, wherein a first combustion chamber receives ammonia and hydrogen in controlled proportions, and an oxygen-containing gas. Combustion of the ammonia and hydrogen produces NH2 ions among other combustion products. A second combustion chamber receives the combustion products from the first combustion chamber and receives further ammonia and further hydrogen in controlled proportions, wherein combustion produces nitrogen oxides among other combustion products. A third combustion chamber receives the nitrogen oxides along with further ammonia and further hydrogen in further controlled proportions along with further oxygen-containing gas, such that the nitrogen oxides are combusted into nitrogen and water.
A method for the combustion of ammonia, wherein a first combustion chamber receives ammonia and hydrogen in controlled proportions, and an oxygen-containing gas, wherein combustion of the ammonia and hydrogen produces NH2 ions among exhaust gases from the first combustion chamber, and wherein a second combustion chamber receives the exhaust oases from the first combustion chamber and receives further ammonia and further hydrogen in controlled proportions, wherein combustion in the second combustion chamber produces nitrogen oxides among exhaust gases from the second combustion chamber, and wherein a third combustion chamber receives the exhaust gases from the second combustion chamber including nitrogen oxides along with further ammonia and further hydrogen in further controlled proportions along with further oxygen-containing gas, such that the nitrogen oxides are combusted into nitrogen and water.
A system for the combustion of ammonia, comprising:
