Selective catalytic reduction SCR

Process Licensors. Some of the well-known nitric acid technology licensors are fisted in Table 3. Espindesa, Grande Paroisse, Humphreys and Glasgow, Rhfyne Poulenc, Uhde, and Weatherly are all reported to be licensors of weak acid technology. Most weak acid plant licensors offer extended absorption for NO abatement. Espindesa, Rhfyne Poulenc, Weatherly, and Uhde are also reported (53,57) to offer selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. 

When NO destmction efficiencies approaching 90% are required, some form of post-combustion technology appHed downstream of the combustion 2one is needed to reduce the NO formed during the combustion process. Three post-combustion NO control technologies are utilized selective catalytic reduction (SCR) nonselective catalytic reduction (NSCR) and selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). 

Selective Catalytic Reduction. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is widely used in Japan and Europe to control NO emissions (1). SCR converts the NO in an oxygen-containing exhaust stream to molecular N2 and H2O using ammonia as the reducing agent in the presence of a catalyst. 

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is cmrently the most developed and widely applied FGT technology. In the SCR process, ammonia is used as a reducing agent to convert NO, to nitrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a converter upstream of the air heater. The catalyst is usually a mixture of titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and hmgsten trioxide. SCR can remove 60-90% of NO, from flue gases. Unfortunately, the process is very expensive (US 40- 80/kilowatt), and the associated ammonia injection results in an ammonia slip stream in the exhaust. In addition, there are safety and environmental concerns associated with anhydrous ammonia storage. 

Nitric Acid Plant - Nitrogen oxide levels should be controlled to a maximum of 1.6 kg/t of 100% nitric acid. Extended absorption and technologies such as nonselective catalytic reduction (NSCR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) are used to eontrol nitrogen oxides in tail gases. 

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) SCE is a process to reduce NO, to nitrogen and water with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst between 540-840 F (282-449 C). Ammonia is usually injected at a 1 1 molar ratio with the NOx contaminants. Ammonia is used due to its tendency to react only with the contaminants and not with the oxygen in the gas stream. Ammonia is injected by means of compressed gas or steam carriers. Efficiencies near 90% have been reported with SCR. See Exxon Thermal DeNO. ... 

Improvements in engine and turbine design, along with the use of auxiliary equipment such as catalytic converters, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) units and the use of steam and water injection into turbines, combine to reduce overall emission levels. 

Combustion modifications and postcombustion processes are the two major compliance options for NO., emissions available to utilities using coal-fircd boilers. Combustion modifications include low-NO burners (LNBs), overfire air (OFA), reburning, flue gas recirculation (FGR), and operational modifications. Postcombustion processes include selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). The CCT program has demonstrated innovative technologies in both of these major categories. Combustion modifications offer a less-expensive appiroach. 

Postcombustion processes are designed to capture NO, after it has been produced. In a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, ammonia is mixed with flue gas in the presence of a catalyst to transform the NO, into molecular nitrogen and water. In a selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) system, a reducing agent, such as ammonia or urea, is injected into the furnace above the combustion zone where it reacts with the NO, to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. Existing postcombustion processes are costly and each has drawbacks. SCR relies on expensive catalysts and experiences problems with ammonia adsorption on the fly ash. SNCR systems have not been proven for boilers larger than 300 MW. 

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective noncatalytic reduction processes (SNCR) are widely employed in large industrial and utility boiler plants, as well as in municipal waste incineration plants and other combustion processes. They are used to complement mechanical improvements (such as low NOx burners and furnace design modifications) as an aid to reducing the emission levels of NOx, S02, and other noxious gases into the atmosphere.

Wet air pollution control (WAPC) devices are used to treat exhaust gases from stainless steel pickling operations, thereby generating wastewater, which are treated using the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in which anhydrous ammonia is injected into the gas stream prior to a catalyst to reduce NO, to nitrogen and water. The most common types of catalysts are a metal oxide, a noble metal, or zeolite. 

These harmful effects of nitrogen oxides being known from several years, regulations in their emissions have been progressively introduced in most of the countries worldwide. Therefore, new technologies have been introduced to either limit their formation or convert them to N2. Among these technologies, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) was the one which was most successfully developed.

Ever since the first study of metal-exchanged zeolites as new catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with methane in the presence of oxygen was undertaken (Li and Armor, 1993), the simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and CH4 at the exhaust of lean-bum natural gas engines has remained a challenge. 

SOLINOX SO,. Linde NO,] A process for removing both NOx and SOx from fluegases. The SOx is removed by scrubbing with tetra-ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, circulated in a packed tower (the Selexol process). The NOx is destroyed by Selective Catalytic Reduction ( SCR). The sorbent is regenerated with steam the SOx is recovered for conversion to sulfuric acid. Developed by Linde in 1985 and used in a lead smelter in Austria and several power stations in Germany. In 1990 it was announced that it would be used at the titanium pigment plant in The Netherlands operated by Sachtleben.

Question 5 ("Is combustion with air the only chemistry intended at your facility ") can be answered YES in this case, assuming the "facility" being addressed is limited to the incinerator system. Due to the great number of combustion systems in operation, many other resources are available for ensuring safe design and operation of the combustion part of the incinerator facility. However, it should be noted that many combustors now have effluent treatment systems, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, that involve intentional chemistry beyond the combustion reaction. 

At present the most effective available after-treatment techniques for NO, removal under lean conditions are ammonia selective catalytic reduction (SCR) [1-3] and NO, storage reduction (NSR) [4—6]. Indeed, three-way catalysts (TWCs) are not able to reduce NO, in the presence of excess oxygen, because they must be operated at air/ fuel ratios close to the stoichiometric value. Also, non-thermal plasma (NTP) and hydrocarbon-selective catalytic reduction (HC-SCR) are considered, although they are still far from practical applications.
