Norton Company's Chemical Process Products business and Babcock Wilcox have entered into a cooperation agreement to develop B W's SNRB process using Norton's NC-300 catalyst. The SNRB process is described as an advanced air pollution control system for the combined removal SO{sub 2}, NO{sub x}, and particulates in combustion flue gases. All three removal processes are combined in a single high temperature baghouse. SO{sub 2} is removed by injecting either a calcium or sodium based sorbent into the hot flue gas. The sorbent and flyash particulates are collected onto high temperature filter bags. NO{sub x} is removed by selective catalytic reduction with ammonia using NC-300 catalyst. Following successful pilot-scale testing at B W's Alliance, Ohio, research facility, the Department of Energy selected a 5MW demonstration project for negotiation of funding under the Clean Coal Technology program. Norton will provide significant cost sharing to the project in the form of NC-300 catalyst and technical support. The project will demonstrate the cost effectiveness in removing high levels of pollutants.
