Abstract

Biogas, derived from human waste or industrial byproducts, is considered one of the most environmentally acceptable fuels. However, such fuels often exhibit relatively low efficiency, making it essential to develop technologies that facilitate their effective combustion. This article investigates the combustion of biogas with the addition of hydrogen at varying degrees of flow swirling. For this purpose, a burner was used in which methane, hydrogen and CO 2 were mixed in a mixer. The studies revealed that increasing the proportion of hydrogen in biogas leads to an average 15% rise in the NO x concentration. Additionally, an increase in the degree of swirling has a positive effect on NO x generation. On the other hand, a higher proportion of hydrogen reduces the concentration of CO in the exhaust gases. The presence of ballast gases, such as CO 2 , generally results in relatively low NO x levels when combined with a high swirling number. The analysis of combustion products for CO 2 indicates a 14% increase in CO 2 proportion. The highest concentrations of CO 2 were observed in biogas with the highest CO 2 ballast content. In terms of reducing NO x and CO, SW = 1.3 is the most successful. On the other hand, this angle leads to an increase in the CO 2 concentration.
