Example apparatus and methods providing for the improved chemical conversion of the combustible components of a gaseous medium are disclosed. In some examples, the apparatus includes a guiding body that guides the flow of the gaseous medium within a reaction chamber of the apparatus. In some examples, the guiding body of the disclosed apparatus is configured to stabilize a residence period of the gaseous medium in the reaction chamber. In some examples, the guiding body results in a flow path of the gaseous medium within the reaction chamber being optimized and/or maximized, and/or results in a short circuit flow of the gaseous medium in the reaction chamber being suppressed. In some disclosed examples, the guiding body causes at least a portion of the flow path of the gaseous medium within the reaction chamber to take the form of a cyclone flow.

Apparatus and methods for treating and/or utilizing a gaseous medium

Burners having a fuel plenum in a base are disclosed. One disclosed example apparatus includes a base of a burner, the base comprising a fuel plenum and coupled to fuel nozzles, where at least one of the fuel nozzles is in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. The disclosed example apparatus also includes a burner head of the burner comprising nozzle passages in fluid communication with an airflow path, where the burner head defines a pilot combustion space that opens towards a flame tube of the burner, and is in fluid communication with the airflow path, and where each nozzle passage is to receive a fuel nozzle to provide fuel to entrain with air from the airflow path.
