About this document
Thermal vs Fuel NOx Formation by Asela Pathirathna is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses NOx formation and control strategies. It describes that thermal NOx forms from high temperature reactions between N2 and O2 in air, while fuel NOx forms from nitrogen in fuels. Common combustion modifications to reduce NOx include lowering peak flame temperatures, reducing residence time, and off-stoichiometric combustion. Post-combustion treatments discussed are SCR, SNR, wet absorption, and dry sorption. SCR uses a catalyst and NH3 to selectively reduce NOx to N2 between 300-400°C,
