ABSTRACT
This article presents a thorough analysis of the main reasons behind the generation of nitrogen oxides
(NOx) during combustion of coal-derived fuels in low- and medium-power boilers. Tests were made based on
data from real-exiting heating systems operating in Poland over the last three years. Results of analytical
research were used to conduct original experimental tests indicating the main problems of scattered municipal
power engineering in Poland.
