Abstract |
The report discusses emission results from comprehensive flue gas sampling of a gas- and oil-fired industrial boiler equipped with Exxon's Thermal DeNOx Ammonia Injection Process for NOx reduction. Comprehensive emission measurements included continuous monitoring of flue gas emissions; source assessment sampling system (SASS) tests; EPA Method 5/17 for solid and condensible particulate emissions and ammonia emissions; controlled condensation system for SO2 and SO3; and N2O emission sampling. Ammonia injection at a NH3/NO molar ratio of 2.52 gave a NOx reduction of 41% from an uncontrolled level of 234 ppm to a controlled level of 137 ppm. NH3 emissions increased from 11 ppm for the baseline to an average of 430 ppm for ammonia injection. Nitrous oxide, N2O, was reduced 68% from a 50 ppm baseline level to a 17 ppm controlled level. Total particulate emissions increased by an order of magnitude from a baseline of 17.7 ng/J to a controlled level of 182 ng/J. |
