  • Patent number: 8607547
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a flue gas purifying device that can suppress leakage of ammonia and can efficiently decrease nitrogen oxides in flue gas. The object is achieved by a flue gas purifying device including: an exhaust pipe; a urea-water injecting unit that injects urea water into the exhaust pipe; a catalytic unit that includes a urea SCR catalyst that promotes a reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxides and a support mechanism that supports the urea SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe, and is arranged on a downstream side to a position where urea water is injected; a concentration measuring unit arranged on a downstream side to the catalytic unit in a flow direction of flue gas to measure an ammonia concentration in flue gas having passed through the urea SCR catalyst; and a control unit that controls injection of urea water by the urea-water injecting unit based on an ammonia concentration measured by the concentration measuring unit.

  • Patent number: 8237926
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring density which can simultaneously measure gaseous substance density and solid particulate material density and further can simultaneously measure the densities of a plurality of materials such as black smoke, white smoke, and water vapor. The method includes irradiating a laser having at least one wavelength equivalent to an absorption wavelength of each gaseous substance to be measured.

  • Publication number: 20120047879
    Abstract: A flue gas purifying device includes an exhaust pipe that guides flue gas discharged from an internal combustion engine; a catalytic unit that is arranged on a downstream side to the internal combustion engine in a flow direction of flue gas and includes a nitrogen-oxide storage-reduction catalyst that stores nitrogen oxides contained in flue gas and a support mechanism that is arranged in the exhaust pipe and supports the nitrogen-oxide storage-reduction catalyst in the exhaust pipe; a reducing-agent injecting unit that injects a reducing agent to the catalytic unit in the exhaust pipe; a concentration measuring unit that is arranged on a downstream side to the catalytic unit in the flow direction of flue gas and measures a concentration of nitrogen oxides in flue gas having passed through the nitrogen-oxide storage-reduction catalyst; and a control unit that controls whether to inject the reducing agent from the reducing-agent injecting unit based on a concentration of nitrogen oxides measured by the concen

  • Publication number: 20110019193
    Abstract: Disclosed are method and apparatus for measuring density, that can simultaneously measure gaseous substance density and solid particulate material density and further can simultaneously measure the densities of a plurality of materials such as black smoke, white smoke, and water vapor in the solid particulate material in a simple and reliable manner. The method for measuring density comprises applying a laser beam having an absorption wavelength inherent in a gaseous material contained in an object to be measured, to the object to detect a light transmittance and a light absorption amount and detecting the density of gaseous materials in the object and the density of solid particulate materials in the object. The relationship between the density of a plurality of kinds of solid particulate materials including black smoke and white smoke and a laser beam attenuation level in each absorption wavelength is preset.
