Complete combustion

Complete combustion

A combustion process in which all the carbon in the fuel burns to CO2, all the hydrogen burns to H2O, and all the sulphur (if any) burns to SO2. In other words, all combustible components of a fuel are burned to completion during a complete combustion process.
