Supervisory control of a selective catalytic reactor for NO_x removal in incineration plants

摘要

The purpose of this work is to present an industrial application of an optimization tool for the supervisory control of the NO_x reduction section. This work dies not pretend to address any new technique of NO_x reduction but rather to show the results obtained when a comprehensive on-line optimization tool has been successfully applied. The optimization procedure consists of the search of the best working conditions that satisfy the operating and legal constraints, in terms of emission amounts and combustion quality.
