Abstract

The 1990 CAA amendments sent many operators of stationary combustion sources searching for methods to reduce a varity of emissions, including nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) - major components of acid rain. Their searches will reveal several strategies, including one - NO{sub x}OUT - offered by Nalco Fuel Tech (Naperville, Ill.), and European-based Fuel Tech N.V. Nalco Fuel Tech was formed in February 1990 to market NO{sub x}OUT, as well as specialty chemicals and services for air pollution control and other fuel-treatment-related needs. NO{sub x}OUT is a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) technology that combines process modifications and specialty chemicals to reduce NO{sub x}. Specialty reducing chemicals are injected into flue gases, where they react with NO{sub x} to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

A summary of SNCR applications to two coal-fired wet bottom boilers

Technical Report Himes, R; Hubbard, D; West, Z

In response to NO{sub x} reductions mandated under Title I of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), Public Service Electric & Gas and Atlantic Electric of New Jersey evaluated Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) for NO{sub x} control under separate programs at Mercer Station and B.L. England Station, respectively. Mercer Station is comprised of twin 321 MW Foster Wheeler coal-fired wet bottom boilers, with natural gas capability up to 100% load. B.L. England Station has three units, two of which are cyclone boilers of 136 MW and 163 MW. These furnace designs are of particular interest in that nominally 23,000more »« less
Nalco Fuel Tech

Conference Michalak, S

The Nalco Fuel Tech with its seat at Naperville (near Chicago), Illinois, is an engineering company working in the field of technology and equipment for environmental protection. A major portion of NALCO products constitute chemical materials and additives used in environmental protection technologies (waste-water treatment plants, water treatment, fuel modifiers, etc.). Basing in part on the experience, laboratories and RD potential of the mother company, the Nalco Fuel Tech Company developed and implemented in the power industry a series of technologies aimed at the reduction of environment-polluting products of fuel combustion. The engineering solution of Nalco Fuel Tech belong tomore »« less

Urea-based SNCR goes mainstream at utilities

Journal Article

Utilities are using urea-based Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) for complying with Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) for NO{sub x} reduction at power plants. Electric utilities, particularly in the Northeast, are required to reduce NO{sub x} emissions in accordance with state ozone abatement plans, as required by CAAA. But owners and operators must retrofit existing boilers while taking into account the different technology options, economic ramifications, outage scheduling, and potential rate and regulatory ramifications. In the past year-and-a-half, utilities awarded commercial contracts for 11 NO{sub x-} reduction boiler retrofits with urea-based SNCR, Nalco Fuel Tech`s NO{sub x}OUT Process. These 11 boilersmore »« less
Nalco restructures, forms energy chemicals jv with Exxon

Journal Article Plishner, E; Morris, G - Chemical Week

About 20% of Nalco Chemical`s (Naperville, IL) workforce-about 900 employees-will be affected by the company`s restructuring moves; they are to be transferred to a new 50-50 energy chemicals joint venture with Exxon. Four hundred employees worldwide-the majority in Europe-will receive severance packages. Among other consolidations, European support functions will be unified. A plant on Chicago`s South Side will be shut, with production shifted to the nearby Bedford Park plant, Nalco`s largest. Some foreign manufacturing operations will also be affected. The company will take a $54-million after-tax charge to cover the restructuring and the charges associated with forming the joint venture.
Work with existing hardware to maximize emissions control

Journal Article Makansi, J - Power (New York)

Regulatory uncertainty cripples capital investment, but has also helped unleash a surprising level of ingenuity to lower the costs of compliance. Techniques described here could become popular as CAA Phase 2 unfolds. Regulated rate-of-return structures are eroding as competitive forces erupt, permanently changing the business landscape. Meanwhile, complying with Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA), a relative certainty, is clouded by a host of other potential environmental compliance issues -- air-toxics regulations, solid-waste restrictions, global warming and CO{sub 2} discharges, water management, and differing state, regional, and local regulations. As a result, utilities are reactingmore »« less
