nox control in thermal power plant
The NOx Control is a complex system installed in thermal power plants to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx)--harmful pollutants resulting from burning fossil fuels--put forth. In carrying out this task, these systems pre-treat flue gases so that NOx levels can be reduced before they are discharged. The technological features of NOx control systems include low-NOx burners, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR). These systems are integrated into coal-fired power plants, gas, and oil-fired power plants where NOx emission rates are high. By greatly lowering these emissions, NOx control systems not only help power plants to comply with environmental regulations but also serve to reduce the environmental burden they represent.
