Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0668471A2] The method of combusting lean fuel-air mixtures comprising the steps of: a. obtaining a gaseous admixture of fuel and air, said admixture having an adiabatic flame temperature below a temperature which would result in any substantial formation of nitrogen oxides but above about 800 DEG Kelvin; b. contacting at least a portion of said admixture with a catalytic surface (31) and producing reaction products; and c. passing said reaction products to a thermal reaction chamber (33), thereby igniting and stabilizing combustion in said thermal reaction chamber.
