OSTI ID:20082325
In late 1997, American Electric Power, Fuel Tech, and EPRI decided to perform a full-scale demonstration of a Urea-based Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system. The demonstration was set to be installed at Cardinal Plant Unit 1. It is expected that multiple power plant operators will be allowed to average the emissions for their system in order to develop the most cost effective system-wide emissions reduction plan. SNCR is a promising technology likely to be utilized in achieving this goal. When SNCR is coupled with LNB's [Low NOx Burner] a level of NOx reduction in the range of 65% can be achieved at a moderate expense. The primary objective for the project was to demonstrate that Urea-based SNCR technology can be applied to a 600MW steam generator. The specific operational goal for the project is to reduce NOx emissions by 30%, beyond the level achieved through the use of Low NOx Burners, while minimizing ammonia slip at or below 5ppm. The unit is cell-fired with baseline, (post-LNB) NOx emissions of 0.68 lb/MMBtu at full load.
