| Abstract |
Nalco Fuel Tech is using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques as a design tool for applying the NOxOUT Process. NOxOUT is a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) process for controlling oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from the furnaces of power plants, incinerators, and other stationary sources. Chemicals which reduce NOx are injected using equipment designed to achieve optimum treatment of the flue gas stream under favorable temperature and residence time conditions. The paper describes the development of the CFD model to accurately handle fluid physical properties and chemical processes. Customized models are used to predict the flow fields and temperature profiles existing in the combustor. Injection simulation produces information on the dispersion of treatment chemicals, the effects on flow and temperature, and the production of reaction products. Experience in using the models for field testing and commercial design is presented. |
