Title: SCR and hybrid systems for utility boilers: A review of current EPRI-sponsored results

Conference ·

  1. Electric Power Research Institute, Palo Alto, CA (United States)

The Electric Power Research Institute has sponsored extensive research in the area of Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to help its members meet the NO{sub x} compliance provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments. As part of that program, EPRI has sponsored a series of SCR pilot demonstration to evaluate the performance and life expectancy of SCR catalysts on utility boilers and U.S. fuels. This paper will summarize the results of these pilots. In addition, EPRI has been helping members develop hybrid systems, which combine SNCR, In-Duct Catalyst (IDC), and Air Preheater Catalyst (APHC). EPRI has established a methodology to determine when a hybrid system would be the optimum approach to meet NO{sub x} compliance goals.
