Even when compared with the transported nitrogen of pulverized coal, the nitrogen flow rate when the solid-gas ratio is 12 is 5.8 Nm 3 / h, and a flow rate of about 26 times is required. Therefore, in order to make the oxygen discharge rate the same as the discharge rate of LNG or pulverized coal, the combustion-supporting gas discharge port 31 has a discharge area (20 times or more larger than the gas fuel discharge port 21 and the solid fuel discharge port 11).
