Exhaust treatment technology for two-stroke reciprocating engines at compressor stations. Final report, October 1991-September 1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5176746
The overall objective of the three-task project was to develop a low-cost catalyst for the removal of NOx in the exhaust of reciprocating engines at compressor stations. The installed engine population includes many older engines with a characteristic exhaust condition of 15 percent oxygen, 1000 ppm NOx, and 300 to 500 C. The report presents a review of the literature for active materials; an experimental evaluation of metal fibers (catalysts); and the mechanism for NOx reduction. NOx reductions on the order of 30 percent were obtained in 500 C flue gas containing 10 percent oxygen with a nickel alloy fiber catalyst using methane as a reducing agent.
