Catalyst Research Promises to Reduce Scr Costs
نویسندگان
چکیده
If adopted by EPA, proposed new regulations on stack emissions will force many utilities with coalfired boilers to reduce their NOx emissions to levels which are substantially lower then can be achieved with current low NOx burner technology. To meet these requirements, some utilities are anticipating the need to use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx control. New SCR catalysts under development at the Energy Research Center (ERC) show promise for substantially reducing the cost of using an SCR system.

Combination of biodiesel-ethanol-diesel fuel blend and SCR catalyst assembly to reduce emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine.
In this study, the efforts to reduce NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions from a diesel engine using both ethanol-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx over an Ag/Al2O3 catalyst and a biodiesel-ethanol-diesel fuel blend (BE-diesel) on an engine bench test are discussed. Compared with diesel fuel, use of BE-diesel increased PM emissions by 14% due to the increase in the soluble organic...
متن کاملA mathematical optimization technique for managing selective catalytic reduction for coal-fired power plants
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is an emissions control technique that primarily reduces harmful emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). To maintain SCR performance, catalyst layers maybe added, removed, or replaced to improve NOx reduction efficiency. To make these changes, power plants must be temporarily shut down, and SCR maintenance during scheduled power plant outages can be very expen...
متن کاملDoes NGAL reduce costs? A cost analysis of urine NGAL (uNGAL) & serum creatinine (sCr) for acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis
INTRODUCTION Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a sensitive and specific diagnostic test for acute kidney injury (AKI) in the Emergency Department (ED), but its economic impact has not been investigated. We hypothesized that uNGAL used in combination with serum creatinine (sCr) would reduce costs in the management of AKI in patients presenting to the ED in comparison to...
متن کاملPromoter effect of V2O5/TiO2 catalyst on deNOx activity and N2O formation in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3
Introduction Nitrogen oxides (NOx) cause the photochemical smog, acid rain, ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. Therefore, a great deal of studies has been performed to reduce NOx by using various catalytic systems such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or NOx storagereduction catalyst. Recently, N2O, whose greenhouse effect is 310 times larger than CO2, has been issued due to the new r...
