Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR)

• Application of innovative solutions for NO_x abatement to achieve significant savings in capital and operating costs
• This solution may be applied in combination with other INERCO NO_x reduction technologies, hence resulting in the optimisation of both results and investments costs
• Cutting-edge technology with differential capabilities to enhance the operation of conventional SNCR solutions:
  • Zonal reagent injection based on local combustion conditions characterised by ABACO-Opticom technology and pyrometry
  • Possible closed-loop operation
  • Design of nozzles to achieve maximum injection coverage based on CFD fluid dynamic studies
  • On-line monitoring of ammonia slip
  • Adaptability to high temperature scenarios and substoichiometric conditions

• Additional Services:
  • Optimisation of existing SNCR systems
  • Development of tests with a portable pilot plant for reagent injection to assess the scope and potential of SNCR technology in any combustion facility in terms of NO_x reduction and associated costs

• Main results::
  • NO_x reductions: 30-50%
  • Minimisation of ammonia slip
  • Reduced reagent consumption
  • Reduction of investment costs in the range of 30%-50%
  • Reduction of operating costs in the range of 40%-60%
