Sanitary engineering The increasing concern and awareness among the public regarding the quality of environment that currently become more polluted due to combustion activities, particularly in industrial field has instigate the researchers and industrialists to find more comprehensives and enhanced technologies to reduce the so called pollutants emissions such as NOx, CO, CO2, SOx, VOCs and particulate matter (PM).

For this present project, the method that will be adapted is air staging method. By air staging techniques, some of the combustion air will be directed into the primary combustion zone, while the remaining air is directed into secondary zone.
