NOx Reagents is the Hot Topic on March 26, 2009 at 10 CDT
Systems utilizing reagents to control NOx emissions have been in use for many years. This Hot Topic Hour will focus on reagent selection and use. We are all still learning. What are the reagent options available and how can we improve the efficiency and minimize cost? What are the pricing differentials? How can we maximize reagent effectiveness (mixers, flow modeling, duct design, etc.)? What can we do to minimize maintenance cost while maximizing performance? What pitfalls do we need to avoid - contamination in makeup water or storage and mixing tanks, oil from compressors and others? What about monitoring and control systems? What are the safety issues? What combustion technologies can be utilized to minimize the need for NOx reagents?
These are some of the many questions that the following speakers will address during this Hot Topic Hour:
Kevin R. Dougherty, Vice President Business Development and Marketing, Fuel Tech, Inc. will discuss the reagent alternatives.
Bernard (Ben) P. Breen, Ph.D. President Breen Energy Solutions will discuss the benefit of combustion tuning to minimize Ammonium-bi-Sulfate formation and reagent waste.
William (Bill) Hankins, Vice-President of Sales of U2A for Wahlco, Inc. will describe the many installations of urea to ammonia they have. Wahlco and Hamon Research Cottrell are the co-exclusive licensees for EC&C's patented U2A process.
Jodi Crawford is the Business Development Manager and Blaine Davis, Manager of Engineering Services for Airgas Specialty Products, Inc. will discuss some of the advantages of ammonia products, how to insure the quality of ammonia for DeNOx applications and SAFE (Safe Ammonia Facilities Education) offered by Airgas.
Robert (Bob) Ferrell, the principal Member of RJF Consultants, LLC, will review the current status of Ozone based Low Temperature Oxidation of Nitrogen Oxides for removal from flue gases including the recent startup and operation of several large scale refinery installations for NOx control.
Tim Shippy, Peerless Manufacturing Company.
