Abstract This report discusses the development and demonstration of innovative combustion technologies that improve energy conservation and environmental practices in the U. S. industrial sector. The report includes recommendations by industry on research and development needed to resolve current combustion-related problems. These views are based on information from industry sources and on reviews of previous studies contained in DOE' s Office of Industrial Technology (OIT) Vision Studies, previous OIT combustion research assessments, and private research programs. Both fundamental and applied R&D needs are presented. The report assesses combustion needs and suggests research ideas for seven major industries, which collectively consume approximately 78% of all energy used by industry. Included are the glass, pulp and paper, refinery, steel, metal casting, chemicals, and aluminum industries . Information has been collected from manufacturers, industrial operators, trade organizations, and various funding organizatIons and has been supplemented with expertise at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory to develop a list of suggested research and development needed for each of the seven industries. Section 5 presents a summary list of the research areas in each industry. Some of the technologies proposed for research are specific to certain industries; others are crosscutting technologies. In general, the technologies cover the research and development in • Fundamental combustion kinetics • Development and demonstration of new generation combustion devices • Emissions monitoring and control technologies • Improved diagnostic devices and control systems • Combustion modeling and optimization concepts • Improved heat transfer concepts.
