Evaluation of NOx reduction technology for natural gas industry prime movers. Special report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5819241
The report reviews the state-of-the-art in NOx reduction equipment and controls for prime movers used by the U.S. natural gas industry to drive pipeline compressors. Widespread development and application of NOx control measures is restricted by the extreme diversity of reciprocating engine types, models, sizes, and ages. About 30% of the industry's engines were installed before the mid-1950s. The economic or technical feasibility of modifying these older engines is questionable. NOx control technologies discussed are catalytic reduction, engine modification, and pre-stratified charge for reciprocating engines and catalytic reduction, combustor modification, and water injection for gas turbines. The discussion includes a description of and field experience with the technology, cost, past problems and potential for improvement, and applicability to the gas industry.
