A burner for a melter is provided which includes a nozzle, a fuel stream moving through the nozzle, and an oxidant stream including an initial elliptical cross section and being external to the nozzle and surrounding the fuel stream for providing a combustion stream having a cross section transitioning from an elliptical cross section to a circular cross section to provide a flat flame from the circular cross section for combustion in the melter. A method for producing a flat flame is also provided.

1. A burner for a melter, comprising: a fuel nozzle having a fuel passage therein for a fuel stream and extending to a fuel nozzle tip having an elliptical cross section, the fuel nozzle constructed with the fuel nozzle tip transitioning to a circular cross section at a discharge orifice of said burner; andan oxidant passage surrounding the fuel passage and extending to an oxidant opening at the fuel nozzle tip, the oxidant opening having another elliptical cross section and being external to the fuel nozzle for transitioning from said another elliptical cross section to said circular cross section at said discharge orifice to provide a flat flame from the circular cross section for combustion in the melter. 2. The burner of claim 1, wherein the fuel stream comprises a circular cross section. 3. The burner of claim 1, wherein the fuel stream is displaceable vertically with respect to the oxidant stream for providing at least one of said streams to be fuel-rich and the other of said streams to be fuel-lean. 4. The burner of claim 1, wherein the fuel stream comprises a gaseous fuel selected from at least one of methane, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, liquefied propane gas, butane, low BTU gases, town gas, producer gas and mixtures thereof. 5. The burner of claim 1, wherein the fuel stream comprises a liquid fuel selected from at least one of heavy fuel oil, medium fuel oil, light fuel oil, kerosene, diesel and mixtures thereof. 6. The burner of claim 1, wherein the fuel stream comprises a particulate solid fuel selected from at least one of coal, coke, petroleum coke, rubber, woodchips, sawdust, straw, biomass fuels and mixtures thereof suspended in a carrier gas stream selected from at least one of air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and a gaseous fuel, the gaseous fuel selected from at least one of methane, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, liquefied propane gas, butane, low BTU gases, town gas, producer gas and mixtures thereof. 7. The burner of claim 1, wherein the oxidant stream comprises an oxidant selected from at least one of oxygen-enriched air, non-pure oxygen and industrially pure oxygen. 8. A method of producing a flat flame from a nozzle for combustion in a melter, comprising: moving a fuel stream through the nozzle,moving an oxidant stream surrounding and external to the nozzle and having its major axis perpendicular to the fuel stream for having an elliptical cross section,converging the fuel stream with the oxidant stream for providing a combustion stream emitted from the nozzle having an elliptical cross section, andtransitioning said combustion stream from said elliptical cross section to a circular cross section for providing a flame having a substantially flattened cross section for combustion in the melter. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising displacing the fuel stream vertically with respect to the oxidant stream for providing at least one of said streams to be fuel-rich and the other of said streams to be fuel-lean. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the fuel stream and the oxidant stream are co-axial. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the fuel stream comprises a gaseous fuel selected from at least one of methane, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, liquefied propane gas, butane, low BTU gases, town gas, producer gas and mixtures thereof. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the fuel stream comprises a liquid fuel selected from at least one of heavy fuel oil, medium fuel oil, light fuel oil, kerosene, diesel and mixtures thereof. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the fuel stream comprises a particulate solid fuel selected from at least one of coal, coke, petroleum coke, rubber, woodchips, sawdust, straw, biomass fuels and mixtures thereof suspended in a carrier gas stream selected from at least one of air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and a gaseous fuel, the gaseous fuel selected from at least one of methane, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, liquefied propane gas, butane, low BTU gases, town gas, producer gas and mixtures thereof. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the oxidant stream comprises an oxidant selected from at least one of oxygen-enriched air, non-pure oxygen and industrially pure oxygen.
