SNCR systems headed for Indiana
Nalco Mobotec, Inc. has signed a contract with Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. to provide two Rotamix selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems for nitrogen oxide (NOx) control at the Frank E. Ratts generating station in Petersburg, Indiana. The generating station is a coal-fired power plant consisting of two 125-megawatt boilers, originally built in 1970. Nalco Mobotec will begin work immediately with both units scheduled for continuous operation of the new system by December 2011.
Nalco Mobotec’s patented Rotamix technology reduces NOx emissions from utility and industrial boilers. The technology will build on previous significant NOx reduction provided by Nalco Mobotec’s patented rotating opposed fired air (ROFA) technology to contain and reduce NOx emissions.
“Nalco Mobotec’s unique product portfolio allows incremental equipment additions that provide increased NOx reduction as regulations tighten,” said Dave Flitman, senior executive vice president of Nalco Co. “This minimizes added capital expenditures while maintaining and extending the useful life of previously installed air pollution control devices. Nalco Mobotec’s ROFA technology allowed Hoosier Energy to meet previous NOx reduction standards. Now with the addition of Rotamix technology, Hoosier Energy will be able to meet new emissions requirements.”
