It is well established that conventional "blue flame" or bunsen gas burners produce oxides of nitrogen at levels of 30-50 nanograms per joule [5] [6] and are as such not considered to have potential for NO x reduction. Surface combustion burners or radiant tile burners in comparison produce nitrogen oxides' levels 60-70% less. [6]
