NOX NH3 Basic Reactions

4 NO + 4 NH3 + O2  4 N2 + 6 H2O
6 NO2 + 8 NH3  7 N2 + 12 H2O

Undesired Parallel Reactions

SO2 + 1/2 O2  SO3

NH3 + SO3 + H2O  NH4HSO4

Soot blowing system:

 Compressed air (only) in
combination with solenoid
valves
 Recommended for
applications with high
particle concentration (or
special high dust application)
 Developed for use in
conjunction with the multi-
layer concept with reduced
air consumption (10-20
Nm3/h)
