Every factory, bakery, hospital and greenhouse that burns natural gas pays more — and emits more — than it must. Not for lack of will, but because practical combustion and heat-recovery knowledge is locked in €500 consulting reports and dense technical standards.
Cutting NOx and Costs is a plain-English, checklist-driven handbook for plant engineers and technical managers at small and medium-sized gas-consuming enterprises. Every measure is explained with its payback period, implementation steps and common mistakes. The book synthesizes decades of applied post-Soviet engineering research — normally inaccessible to Western readers — into practical, field-tested guidance.
What's inside: gas auditing and metering · combustion efficiency and the excess-air ratio · burner tuning and low-NOx retrofit · flue-gas recirculation and staged combustion · heat recovery (economizers, condensing exchangers) · steam and hot-water system optimization · the payback decision matrix.
