Ammonia and NO/NOx measurement for DE-NOx applications
- Thermo Environemental Instruments, Inc., Franklin, MA (United States)
A number of critical environmental goals may be met by controlling nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from combustion sources. These goals include responding to 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment requirements, reduction of human exposure to harmful concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO{sub 2}), acid deposition control, and urban smog abatement. Technologies utilizing either heterogeneous or homogeneous reactions of NOx with ammonia (NH{sub 3}) are considered major control options. Crucial to the use of such technologies is the continuous measurement of NO/NOx and NH{sub 3} in order to access (and control) performance criteria such as NOx conversion efficiency and NH{sub 3} emissions (NH{sub 3} SLIP) .This paper describes a continuous emission sonitoring system for NO, NO{sub 2}, and NH{sub 3} based upon NO chemiluminescence as well as presenting preliminary field data.
