Selective catalytic reduction for Nox removal
Optimize your emissions control with advanced selective catalytic reduction, effectively reducing NOx, CO, and VOC levels to enhance air quality and meet stringent environmental regulations.

Reduces NOx, CO, and VOC Emissions
The SCR for NOx and CO/VOC removal from GEA is an engineered solution designed to meet the stringent emission control needs of the cement, glass, and chemical industries. This system stands out for its use of Selective Catalytic Reduction technology, which effectively reduces NOx via ammonia injection upstream of a high-activity catalyst that enhances the conversion to nitrogen and water. It finds applications in emission control systems for the production of glass bottles, cement clinker, and industrial gases, offering continuous high-efficiency operations.
The SCR system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, positioned after dedusting systems in low-dust arrangements. It features a gas distribution system for optimal mixing and a swirl breaker for even flow across the catalyst bed. Designed for reliability, it minimizes ammonia slip and reduces catalyst fouling through precise temperature control.
The system’s automation includes a PLC-controlled environment and a gas-gas heater for temperature management, utilizing either internal or external heat sources. Operational efficiency is further supported by a low-pressure drop design, which ensures cost-effective performance with lower CAPEX and OPEX compared to conventional DeNOX systems. Customization and engineering support are available to tailor the system to specific operational requirements, ensuring it meets both current and future emission standards.
