Industrial Boiler Hydrogen Blending & De-NOx Sizer

Model volumetric hydrogen ($H_2$) co-firing ($5\%\text{ to }50\%\text{ vol}$) into industrial steam and hot water boilers. Calculate Wobbe index fuel gas compliance, flashback risks from high laminar flame velocity, increased flue gas water vapor content, thermal NOx formation spikes, and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aqueous ammonia reagent requirements.

📐 Chemical Combustion & Zeldovich Thermal NOx Relations

• H2 Energy Share: E_H2 = (V_H2 * 270 Btu/SCF) / [(V_H2 * 270) + (V_CH4 * 905 Btu/SCF)]

• Wobbe Index: I_W = HHV_blend / sqrt(SG_blend)

• Zeldovich Thermal NOx: Higher adiabatic flame temp of H2 (2,210°C vs 1,960°C CH4) causes exponential NOx jump: NOx_uncontrolled = NOx_base * (1 + 2.4 * E_H2)

• De-NOx Stoichiometry: 4 NO + 4 NH3 + O2 → 4 N2 + 6 H2O (Requires 1.05 mol NH3 / mol NOx removed)

• Direct CO2 Avoidance: Displaces 117.0 lbs CO2/MMBtu of natural gas combustion
