Operating experience of a selective catalytic reduction system for flue gas denitrification and a coal-fired cogeneration plants

摘要

A pulverized coal-fired cogeneration facility, referred to as the Carneys Point Generating Plant, is the first U.S. coal plant equipped with an ammonia-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. The facility was started up in late 1993 and began supplying electricity to Atlantic Electric Company in early January 1994. Commercial operation officially began in the week of March 13, 1994 and the final acceptance tests were completed successfully in May of 1994. This ppaer presnets the description fothe facility and SCR system, followed by the operating experience of the SCR system, followed by the operating experience of the SCR system since its initial statup, including: the NO_x reduction performance, ammonia injection system and flow control, and compliance with the regulations and requriements of the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
