As a safety factor to assure complete combustion, boilers are fired with excess air. One of the factors influencing NOx formation in a boiler is the excess air levels. High excess air levels (>45%) may result in increased NOx formation because the excess nitrogen and oxygen in the combustion air entering the flame will combine to form thermal NOx.
