  • Catalytic/non-catalytic combination process for nitrogen oxides reduction
    Patent number: 5139754
    Abstract: A process for reducing nitrogen oxides in a combusiton effluent is presented. The process involves introducing a nitrogenous treatment agent into the effluent under conditions effective to create a treated effluent having reduced nitrogen oxides concentration such that ammonia is present in the treated effluent; and then contacting the treated effluent under conditions effective to reduce the nitrogen oxides in the effluent with a nitrogen oxides reducing catalyst.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 1990
    Date of Patent: August 18, 1992
    Assignee: Fuel Tech, Inc.
    Inventors: Bryan K. Luftglass, William H. Sun, John E. Hofmann
