Abstract: A boiler conveys an exhaust gas stream to a heat recovery device. The heat recovery device includes an air straightener, a heat recovery unit or feedwater heater, and a catalyst assembly positioned between the air straightener and the feedwater heater. The catalyst assembly has a catalyst drawer or bed that holds a quantity of catalyst materials for removing contaminants from the exhaust gas stream. The air straightener has a plurality of baffles that are arranged in a manner that optimizes the performance of the catalyst drawer or bed. The baffles also prevent condensation from leaking from the feedwater heater into the boiler. The feedwater heater recovers a quantity of heat from the exhaust gas stream.
