A case study of the evaluation and application of NO/sub x/ control systems to internal combustion engines
Champlin Petroleum Company - Production Department (Champlin) operates a large oil production operation in the Wilmington, California field in the Los Angeles area. The nature of the produced oil reservoirs has resulted in evaluating and planning several enhanced oil recovery projects, including a major steam drive project and expansion of an existing CO/sub 2/ injection projects. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is responsible for stationary sources of air pollution in the greater metropolitan Los Angeles area. The SCAQMD new source review rule requires that emissions of air contaminants from new or modified sources be controlled through application of Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and that emissions after control be offset by the control of emissions from existing sources. The enhanced oil recovery projects being considered by Champlin would result in several sources of air pollution, even after application of BACT, consequently, Champlin recognized the need for obtaining extensive emissions offsets. Champlin proposed and is implementing a program for reducing NO/sub x/, CO, and HC emissions from existing rich-burn internal combustion engines. This paper presents a case study of the selection and application of non-selective catalytic reduction systems for Caterpillar, Waukesha, and White Superior engines.
