  • Publication number: 20110262333
    Abstract: A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is defined that uses the measured concentration of reactant slip in the exhaust gas after SCR processing to control the amount of reactant injected during non-steady-state operational conditions. The SCR system works with a reactant slip detector located in the post-SCR processing section of the exhaust flue. The reactant slip detector measures the concentration of reactant in the exhaust gases and, based on that concentration, the amount of reactant injected into the pre-SCR processing exhaust gases is controlled.

  • Patent number: 7976800
    Abstract: An integrated exhaust gas cooling system and method, including an expansion joint linking the system to an upstream source of exhaust gas and a pre-oxidation section through which exhaust gas travels. A hot temperature zone in which the exhaust gas is maintained at a temperature optimal for an oxidation process extends through the pre-oxidation section. An oxidation catalyst in the hot temperature zone is provided. The exhaust gas passes through the oxidation catalyst. Oxidized exhaust gas passes a post-oxidation section downstream of the oxidation catalyst. A tempering air stream is injected into the post-oxidation section to create a cool temperature zone in which the oxidized exhaust gas is cooled below the temperature in the hot temperature zone and to a temperature optimal for a reduction process. The system includes a reduction catalyst in the cool temperature zone through which the oxidized exhaust gas passes.
