Restoring production efficiency & NOx reduction by eliminating SCR fouling
Problem: SCR fouling is typically caused by refractory or insulation fibers that accumulate and block the face of the catalyst, eventually leading to substantial flow disruption and excessive pressure drops, typically worsening over time. This pressure drop and flow maldistribution will cause production rate limitations, unplanned outages, and environmental compliance issues, as well as reduce he catalyst life. Solution: Proven methods for keeping SCRs operating efficiently ...
