Abstract

A combustion method and burner nozzle system having a DeNO.sub.x Stabilizer concentrically secured within a burner nozzle such that the fuel stream is separated into an outer fuel-rich stream and an inner fuel-lean stream. The outer fuel-rich stream passes around the exterior of the DeNO.sub.x Stabilizer where its flow area is increased thereby decreasing its velocity before it is discharged from the burner nozzle. Concurrently, the inner fuel-lean stream passes through the DeNO.sub.x Stabilizer where its flow area is reduced thereby increasing its velocity before this stream is discharged from the burner nozzle central to the slower fuel-rich stream. Mixing members interior of the burner nozzle further mix the fuel-rich stream before exiting the nozzle.
