Lawrence Joseph Czarnecki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10634029
    Abstract: The present application provides a mobile selective catalyst reduction system for use at a remote location. The mobile selective catalyst reduction system may include a first trailer with an ammonia delivery system and a tempering air system mounted thereon in whole or in part and a second trailer with a selective catalyst reduction section mounted thereon in whole or in part. The ammonia delivery system, the tempering air system, and/or the selective catalyst reduction section are permanently mounted on the first trailer or the second trailer for use at the remote location.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180058698
    Abstract: The present application provides a selective catalyst reduction system for use with a combustion gas stream of a gas turbine. The selective catalyst reduction system may include an inlet positioned about the gas turbine, a combined ammonia-tempering air injection grid positioned about the inlet, and a catalyst positioned downstream of the combined ammonia-tempering air injection grid. The combined ammonia-tempering air injection grid injects air and ammonia into the combustion gas stream upstream of the catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20170335734
    Abstract: The present application provides a selective catalyst reduction system for use with a combustion gas stream of a gas turbine. The selective catalyst reduction system may include a tempering air system with a finger mixer and a number of mixer plates and a catalyst positioned downstream of the tempering air system. The tempering air system cools the combustion gas stream and evens out the temperature profile before the combustion gas stream reaches the catalyst.

  • Patent number: 9120055
    Abstract: A method for reducing mercury emission and/or re-emission in cleaned flue gas through control of dissolved mercury species concentration within a wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system is disclosed. One method for reducing mercury emission and/or re-emission through control of dissolved mercury species concentration is to measure the dissolved mercury species concentration of an aqueous alkaline slurry used in a WFGD system and/or measuring mercury concentration of cleaned flue gas from a WFGD system and comparing the same to a predetermined dissolved mercury species concentration value and/or a predetermined mercury concentration value. If the comparison reveals the measured dissolved mercury species concentration or mercury concentration is above the predetermined values therefor, the amount of cyclodextrin additive supplied to the system is increased.

  • Publication number: 20150030508
    Abstract: A catalytic reactor (16) is provided for purposes of effecting therewith the removal of nitrogen oxides from a process gas (F) that includes at least two catalyst bed segments (48, 50, 52), each of which is provided with a closing device (60, 62, 64). The catalytic reactor (16) is operative for causing said process gas (F) to flow through a first catalyst bed segment (48). Said process gas (F) is at a first temperature at which the sulphur trioxide that is entrained in said hot process gas is at least partially precipitated out on to the catalytic material that said first catalyst bed segment (48) embodies. Periodically said closing device (60) is operated in order to thereby isolate said first bed segment (48) from the flow therethrough of said hot process gas (F). A regeneration system (34, 36, 38) is also provided that is operative for purposes of causing a regenerating gas to flow through the first bed segment (48).
