Abstract: A method for treating fuel containing vanadium including extracting vanadium from the fuel with an adsorption material and fractionating the fuel into a light oil fraction and a heavy fuel fraction. The light fuel fraction has a reduced amount of vanadium. Systems for fuel preparation are also provided.

Abstract: A method of removing at least nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gas comprises producing reducing agents including at least hydrogen gas upstream of a conversion catalyst; diverting a portion of the exhaust gas to a location upstream of the conversion catalyst; reacting the reducing agents with nitrogen oxides present in the portion of the exhaust gas to produce a nitrogen-containing compound reducing agent using the conversion catalyst; introducing the nitrogen-containing compound reducing agent upstream of a SCR catalyst; mixing the nitrogen-containing compound reducing agent with a second portion of the exhaust gas upstream of the SCR catalyst; and reacting the nitrogen-containing compound reducing agent with nitrogen oxides present in the second portion of the exhaust gas at the SCR catalyst.

Abstract: A method for facilitating reducing mercury in a fluid stream using a catalytic bed assembly including at least a first catalytic bed. The method includes receiving a flow of fluid including mercury at the catalytic bed assembly; injecting a flow of a compound including ammonia and a first mercury oxidizer upstream of the first catalytic bed; and oxidizing the mercury using the mercury oxidizer and the catalytic bed assembly.

Abstract: A system and method for the reduction of NOx emissions from combustion sources are provided. The system includes a fuel tank, fuel converter unit, condensor unit, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit and an engine. The condenser unit includes a generally cylindrical inner wall defining a cavity having a first lower end and a second upper end, the first lower end is configured to include a gas inlet for receiving a gas mixture from the fuel converter and the second upper end is configured to include a gas outlet in fluid communication with the SCR unit. A heat exchanger is disposed within the cavity of the condensor unit to contact the gas mixture and separate heavy hydrocarbons from light hydrocarbons, wherein the light hydrocarbons are fed to the SCR unit and the heavy hydrocarbons are condensed and either send back to the fuel tank or directly to the engine for combustion.
