Emission Control Diesel Power Plant for Reducing Oxides of Nitrogen through Selective Catalytic Reduction Method using Ammonia
Background/Objectives The major pollutant that comes out from engine exhaust of Diesel Power Plant (DPP) is Nitrogen Oxide (NO x )as well as Sulphur oxides (SO x Since NOx concentration level is higher it affects our environment to great extent. Our main objective of our project is to reduce NO x concentration level to lower rate of parts per million (ppm) Methods/Statistical Analysis The NO x concentration level is higher in DPP as they didn't install any NO x control methods. We suggested using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) method for controlling NO x emission. Ammonia (NH 3 is making use of reagent in SCR technique and it is inject to the exhaust stream. Findings: NH 3 reacts with NO x present in the exhaust and it is converted into Nitrogen (N 2 and water (H 2 O) It is proposed that, if SCR system is installed in Diesel Power Plant, NOx concentration level is expected to reduce from 1100 ppm to 132 ppm. Application/Improvements: If The proposed system is implemented successfully in the power plant, then NOx concentration level could be reduced to approximately 132ppm <2 g kWh)
