In this paper, the design of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for denitrification of flue gas in a 2-percent sulfur coal-fired cogeneration plant is presented. The paper also presents the general SCR design approaches and the effects on the NO{sub x} removal efficiency of various design and operating parameters. Specific references are made to the Chambers Works Cogeneration Plant, Carneys Point, New Jersey, which is the first U.S. pulverized coal plant to be equipped with an SCR unit. The compliance with the regulations and requirements of the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection are discussed. Overall SCR design, catalyst management plan, and ammonia injection and control schemes for the Chambers Project are also given in the paper.
