Optimizing SCR DeNOx design to meet increasing regulatory demands
Whilst coal remains a primary energy source for power production world-wide, regulatory demands for air emission control keep tightening. The high dust SCR units for NOx control on coal fired boilers needed to comply with these standards present special challenges for the catalyst. The right design of the catalyst is essential to ensure strong reliability and long lifetime and is increasingly becoming a key factor in cost efficient power production based on coal.
During this webinar, you will gain insights into the fundamentals of DeNOx catalyst reactions and the most important criteria for optimum high dust SCR design and operation. Among other things, you will achieve an understanding of factors that impact DeNOx efficiency, the balance between the catalyst’s DeNOx and SO2-oxidation activities, causes for deterioration of catalyst activity, catalyst management, and how to minimize risk of catalyst clogging and erosion.
Hence, make the SCR perform at its best by selecting the proper catalyst model to ensure operating success in a challenging application through long lifetime of the catalyst at the lowest overall cost (CAPEX and OPEX).
Be alert to the regulatory development and join this webinar today to learn how to mitigate existing and coming demands in an optimal and cost efficient way.
Presented by
Carlos Javier Dominguez Lorenzo,
Catalyst and Process Specialist
Carlos Lorenzo graduated in chemical engineering from University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain and joined Haldor Topsoe shortly after within the field of SCR DeNOx. As a Catalyst and Process Specialist working with design and basic engineering of SCR units, he has gained a strong knowledge within SCR catalysts, process control, and flow modelling. Recently his focus has been on high dust SCR's on coal-fired boilers in China where high ash Chinese coals pose a challenge in the SCR design, both in terms of catalyst selection and unit lay-out.
Francesco Castellino,
Principal Research Engineer
Francesco Castellino graduated as Chemical Enigineer from Politecnico di Torino, Turin (Italy) and obtained a Ph.D from the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby in 2008. His Ph.D. research was focused on the deactivation of SCR catalyst by alkali metals and phosphorus. He then joined Haldor Topsoe as Research Engineer developing DeNOx catalysts, and today, Francesco leads the R&D Program 'Air Pollution Control' - developing the DeNOx catalysts, VOC/CO oxidation catalysts and catalytic dust filters of the future.
