This paper presents a novel process, called KATFLOX, to reduce the formation of fuel‐NO X . It is based on the concept of using a catalytic pretreatment before oxidation and may be a more effective and cheaper alternative to the cost‐intensive air‐staged combustion and/or catalytic aftertreatment of special off‐gases currently practiced in industry.
