Currently, NOX emission requirements for thermal power plants and power equipment are being tightened. Regime and technical measures are being developed to improve the efficiency of fuel combustion in boilers. Due to the high cost of field studies, and in some cases the impossibility of conducting them, mathematical modeling tools allow one to work out technical and tactical measures. In this paper, the multidisciplinary STAR-CCM+ platform with GMU-45 type burners is used to simulate the combustion of gaseous fuel in a digital model of an energy boiler of the type TGME-464. By conducting numerical experiments, the possibility of reducing NOX emissions by using flue gas recirculation is considered, and the efficiency of burner devices is compared when using different embrasure configurations.
