Natural gas is an extremely important source of energy for reducing pollution and maintaining a clean and healthy environment. In addition to being a domestically abundant and secure source of energy, the use of natural gas also offers a number of environmental benefits over other sources of energy, particularly other fossil fuels.
Read MoreA 350 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler operating at 85% capacity requires approximately 17 m 3 ( 600 ft 3). For the same sized coal-fired boiler, the required catalyst is on the order of 42 m3 (1,500 ft3). (NESCAUM 2000). SCR is a proprietary technology and
Read MoreThere is little variation between the design of oil-fired units and the design of coal-fired units; almost all are either tangential-fired or wall-fired. Fuel oils are broadly classified into two major types: distillate and residual. Distillate oils (fuel oil grade Nos. 1 and 2

Read MoreTwo postcombustion technologies that may be applied to natural gas-fired boilers to reduce NOx emissions are selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The SNCR system injects ammonia (NH3) or urea into combustion flue gases (in a specific temperature zone) to reduce NOx emission. The Alternative Control Techniques (ACT) document for NOx emissions from utility boilers, maximum SNCR performance was estimated to range from 25 to 40 percent for natural gas-fired boilers.12 Performance data available from several natural gas fired utility boilers with SNCR show a 24 percent reduction in NOx for applications on wall-fired boilers and a 13 percent reduction in NOx for applications on tangential-fired boilers.11 In many situations, a boiler may have an SNCR system installed to trim NOx emissions to meet permitted levels. In these cases, the SNCR …
