NOX EMISSIONS CONTROL

In most of the industrialized towns, there is a major problem of controlling the NOx emissions. This is because many industries are realizing harmful volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere on a daily basis. The reason why these compounds are released is that they are formed as a result of a series of complex chemical reactions in the industries. This has had very harmful effects to the immediate environment and there is need to control these emissions. Studies have shown that the ambient ozone levels can be reduced significantly by controlling the NOx emissions. It is for this reasons that organizations such as EPA have set strict standards that have to be met by the industries. These standards are meat to control the emissions of nitrogen oxides by the industries and protect the environment. There are various technologies that can be used to ensure that an industry complies with these standards. The first step to addressing the issue in an industry is to characterize the emissions. In most of the industries, the combustion devices have to be tested so as to establish their baseline when it comes to the emissions of nitrogen oxides. The emissions can also be estimated by considering various factors. However, due to the recent strict standards it is extremely important that the emission levels are determined with a high level of certainty. This will allow the units to comply with the standards and allow the development of units that achieve the compliance.

It is important that you test all the combustion devices in your industry to ensure that they comply with the NOx emission standards in your industry. The testing process should be streamlined to ensure that you get timely and accurate results. This will assist you in choosing the right NOx control technology for the devices. The basic approach is usually to choose a single device to represent others that have the same size and design. You can then test that device for NOx, CO2 and O2 emissions. The testing is normally conducted at three load points to be able to get a clear representation of the operating range of the unit. You can conduct the testing with excess oxygen at each load point to get the best results. You will use the results to determine the total NOx emissions in your industry. This will assist you to come up with a strategy that will ensure you have the required near zero emissions in your industry.
