The report describes the status of NOx abatement technology for stationary sources in Japan as of August 1976. The report emphasizes flue gas treatment processes for control of NOx. It also features processes for the simultaneous removal of NOx and SOx from flue gases. It examines the major Japanese dry and wet processes, with respect to their applications, performance, economics, major technical problems, developmental status, byproducts, and raw materials. It discusses the application of dry processes, primarily selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia, to commercial scale gas- and oil-fired sources. It presents a review of NOx combustion modification technology in Japan, along with background information on NO2 ambient concentrations, NO2 ambient standards, and NOx emissions standards in Japan. The fact that NOx abatement technology in Japan is the most advanced in the world is probably the result of the NO2 ambient standard in Japan's being the most stringent in the world.
