  • Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) control optimization
    Patent number: 10391448
    Abstract: A method, controller and computer readable storage medium for dosing ammonia in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for reducing NOx emissions in a flue gas, are disclosed. The method generally includes calculating a running long term average of NOx emissions, calculating a running short term average of NOx emissions and automatically adjusting an instantaneous NOx setpoint based on the running long term and short term averages to ensure compliance with a permit limit. The ammonia dosing requirement is based on a chemical mass-balance approach, and accuracy is enhanced by adjusting for the NO2 to NO composition of NOx.
